使用AvalonEdit突出显示语法

Question

I am trying to write a regex for AvalonEdit.TextEditor to mark everything after the second | a certain color.

Example(value should be a color):

action|key| value

I am trying something like this but it doesn't work because I can't specify the group I wanna color.

^[^\|]*\|[^\|]*\|(?P<value>[^\|]*)

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try this: (?<=[^\\|]+\\|[^\\|]+\\|)(?<value>[^\\|]+)

The positive look-behind ( ?<= ) will make sure action and key are not part of the match.

Normally you shouldn't use non-fixed length look-behinds but maybe this works for you.
