hallo,
i need to uncomment this statement :
The problem is that 'Mirroring' contains quotes.
- { regexp: '^(\s*)#? *(\'Mirroring,\')', line: "'Mirroring'," }
when i run the task containing this regexp i get this syntax error:
The offending line appears to be:
- { regexp: '^(\s*)#? *(\'Mirroring,\')", line: "'Mirroring',' }
^ here
i need to uncomment this statement :
# 'Mirroring', in gitolite.rc .The problem is that 'Mirroring' contains quotes.
- { regexp: '^(\s*)#? *(\'Mirroring,\')', line: "'Mirroring'," }
when i run the task containing this regexp i get this syntax error:
The offending line appears to be:
- { regexp: '^(\s*)#? *(\'Mirroring,\')", line: "'Mirroring',' }
^ here

Had the same problem not long ago. Escaping here works with doubling the single quote.

exactly! Thanks for replying :)
Inside single quotes, you can represent a single quote in your string by using two single quotes next to each other.Reply all
