Hi I'm nearly new with this of Regex... so, maybe my problem it's easy but I can't find a solution!
I'm writing a regex pattern that looks into the user's writing and paint with another color the matches that is founded. I want for example to paint with another color, if the user write something like this:
foo()
the thing is that I DON'T want to paint that if the user writes something else after that, I mean if the user write only
"foo()" (or "foo() ")
then it's fine, I want to paint it, but if the user write
"foo()d"
I don't want to paint that because is now well written for me.
I already wrote the regex pattern that match the "foo()" (or also with a dot in the middle, like "foo.foo()"), but I´m facing with that problem. I need to add something to my pattern that allow only a space, or nothing (if the user write something else after the ")" I don't want to match it.) This is my pattern:
[a-z]*\.?[a-z]*\(("[^"\r\n]*"|[-]?\b\d+[\.]?\d*\b)?\)
Thank you very much!
