The highlighting feature for awk scripts misbehave when a pair of slash characters is found across quotes or double quotes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The following example lines make text highlighting misbehave in awk scripts:
print a/b/c
printf("%g",a/b) >"/dev/stderr" #comment


Expected Results:  
quotes or double quotes should rule against slash pairs

Can you please have a look into the file
  kde4/share/apps/katepart/syntax/awk.xml
somewhere in your system (maybe /usr/share/ or so) and provide a fix for that?

We need someone with awk knowledge to fix this... Anyone?
Comment 3 Roberto 2011-08-11 11:04:18 UTC
Hi,

the problem relies in the line:
<RegExpr String="/([^\/[]|\\.|\[\]?(\[[^]]+\]|.)+\])+/" attribute="Pattern" context="#stay" />

by commenting out this line the issue is solved but no /x/ patterns are highlighted. IMO this is better than having a completely screwed highlighting through all the text.
Comment 4 Roberto 2011-08-11 11:14:57 UTC
I propose to remove or comment out the line as default in the next releases. It is not possible with a regexp to distinguish a pattern /x/ from a math operation, a/b/c, or from a path, /dev/stderr.
Comment 5 Dominik Haumann 2011-08-11 13:11:26 UTC
Yes, in my opinion, this is indeed a good compromise. Will change it this way.
