VARREGEX

Syntax

Envariable: M2H_VARREGEX=Perl-regex
Element: <VARREGEX>
Perl-regex
</VARREGEX>
Command-line Option: -varregex Perl-regex

Description

VARREGEX defines the Perl regular expression matching resource variables. The regex should define a back reference that contains the name of the resource variable and its arguments surround by parentheses.

WARNING

DO NOT MESS WITH THIS RESOURCE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. If not set properly, page output can become munged. One symptom of a bad VARREGEX setting is the occurrence of numerous '$' characters in generated pages. Make sure to test your VARREGEX setting before using it with production archives.

Default Setting

\$([^\$]*)\$

Resource Variables

N/A

Examples

The following does a more stricter match:

\$([^(\$]+(?:\([^)]+\))?)\$

Although slower than the default, it minimizes potential conflicts in resource files encoded in multi-byte character sets like SJIS.
