Hi, I was hoping someone could point out what I'm doing wrong.

I've customized my ActionScript lanugage definition to be "Javadoc aware." I'm having trouble setting up the foldings regex (being an ActionScripter, I don't regularly use regex, so maybe that's part of the problem. Can't wait for AS3, though...).

Here's what I have:

    foldingStartMarker = '(/\*|\{\s*$|\[\s*$|$\s*$)';
    foldingStopMarker = '(\*/|^\s*\]|^\s*\}|^\s*$)';

// and later...
        {    name = 'comment.javadoc.actionscript ';
            begin = '/\*\*';
            end = '\*/';
        },

And here's what happens. I ype "/**". At this point the language definition knows that I'm in comment.javadoc. I get a downward-pointing arrow for the top of the code fold area. I've also get snippets set up to expand /** into

/**
*
*/

and return the caret to the middle line. There is a single space at the front of the bottom two lines. (I also have it set up to replace a return press with a return and an asterisk, but that's beside the point) Now, I don't get the upward-pointing arrow for the bottom of the code fold area. I just discovered that the space seems to be throwing it off. If I go back to the closing of the javadoc comment, and remove that initial space, I get code folding.

So I tried modifying the foldingStopMarker, but with no success. Is there an easy way to do this? Am I being a moron and doing this completely the wrong way? I've tried a number of regex's:

foldingStopMarker = '(^\s*\*/|^\s*\]|^\s*\}|^\s*\))';
foldingStopMarker = '(\s*\*/|^\s*\]|^\s*\}|^\s*\))';
foldingStopMarker = '( \*/|^\s*\]|^\s*\}|^\s*\))';
foldingStopMarker = '(^[ \t]*\*/|^\s*\]|^\s*\}|^\s*\))';

And many variations thereof, but with no luck. I may be just misunderstanding how the foldingStopMarker works in the first place, but if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be very appreciative. I like my asterisk's to line up, and I like my code folding.

Thanks,
Dru
