PrimalScript gets very confused when the ` (backtick) character is used as escape for a quote in powershell. The color coding goes beserk. Because of that quite a lot of handy features are not available (everything is comment).
Is there a way to avoid this or will there be an update?
Thanks for your time,
Peter

Do you have a specific code example to illustrate this?

PrimalS gets confused by ` in Powershell
Sorry, forget this post, i am unable to reproduce the issue.
The code was:
$objRange.Formula = "=IF(G1=1,`"IN`",`"OUT`")"
Cannot make it fail anymore.
There was another moment when PrimalScript was getting unresponsive during code input, obviously trying to figure out how to color the various parts or checking syntax. Very scary, but in the end nothing was lost.
I never had this while coding vbscript.
Sometimes i have to use a trick to get rid of a syntax-error message that is in error by appending a space or <enter> and removing it. That forces PrimalScript to recognize the change in a line.
Anyway, thanks for the marvelous PrimalScript.
