Hey,

I'm using highlights and I'd like to know if there's a way to add exceptions.

Let's say I'm using "windows" as an highlight but I want to exclude "WindowS" case sensitive, is that possible?

Thanks

There is a case sensitive checkbox in the highlight dialog.

Yes, but how do I exclude "WindowS" from my highlights, while keeping all other possibilities of capitalization? Like Windows, windowS, WINDOWS, etc...

You can use regex to do that, the pattern /(?!WindowS)(?i)windows/ will match the string "windows" and all its possibilities but "WindowS"

Thanks a lot, it worked.

Wims' regex won't exclude "windowS" though. This one will:/((w|W)indows?)(?!S)/

Never mind. I misread your post.

One more thing, are the "/" necessary?

Yes, add it exactly as Wims showed you.

The forward slash in regex is call delimiter, and it should be used to wrap around a pattern. I have seen people do it without it in MSL without a problem, but it can result an error if you don't include it for php. The may as well apply to other scripting languages.

Omitting the delimiter in MSL is fine - as long as the the expression you aim for does not start with the "m" char. A leading "m" without delimiter defines the following char as the delimiter. But as long as you want to use the default delimiter "/", you don't have to put that "m".
but

Imo to always include the delimiter is good scripting habit.

Thanks for the answers, you guys are really helpful.
