Unable to parse ESQL with nested block comments

[jfluitsma]

Hi Thomas,

I got an issue with nested comments in ESQL. It looks simitar to #83 but in our case the code is valid.
`/* -----------------------------
... lines ommitted

• Example CALL GFUNC_BrokerLog(
• /* ifName */ 'myTestFlow'
• /* msgCode / 'KZ', / msgType */ 'INF',
• /* srcSys / 'srcFrom', / srcMsg */ srcMsgBitStream,
• /* trgSys / 'trgTo', / trgMsg */ NULL,
• /* shrtDsc / 'abc-def', / longDsc */ NULL
• );
  ... lines ommitted
  */`

It is a long time ago I looked into the code so I hope you can find the solution quicker then I can.

Regards,
Jan Fluitsma

Hi Jan,
isn't there a comma missing? I would expect a comma after 'myTestFlow' and before 'INF'

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the reply.

The comma should not matter, it is all in a block comment.
Difference with #83 is that the code in that issue the block comments were not balanced, it has 1 opening block comment followed by 2 closing block comments.
In our case the block comments are balanced.

Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

now understood the issue. That won't be easy. I am matching comments with regular expressions. Right now I have no idea how to specify a regex for these nested comments.
Nevertheless is it a bug in the plugin.

Hi Thomas, Thanks for the update. I also had looked into regexp with nested constructions, not easy.
