VARREGEX

Syntax

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

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.
