Using "#" in lstlisting environment breaks formating

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

Im am creating a presnetation with the beamer package and want to
disply a shell script via the listings package. However with this code:

\lstset{language=csh,showstringspaces=false,basicstyle=\footnotesize}
\begin{lstlisting}
#!/bin/csh
if ( $#argv < 2 ) then
echo "usage: $0 name age"
exit 1
endif
\end{lstlisting}

the formating following the hash in the second line of the code seems
to be broken. The rest of the line is slanted, including the closing
paren and "then". If I remove the hash everything is formatted
correctly. A similar problem occurs with a sh script for "language=sh".

I couldn't find anything about having to escape hashes in the
documentation.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Loris

Please post a full example. Are you using the "fragile" option for the
relevant frame?

Sorry. Here is a full example:

\begin{lstlisting}
#!/bin/csh
if ( $#argv < 2 ) then
echo "usage: $0 name age"
exit 1
endif
\end{lstlisting}

\end{frame}

# is registered as a comment char for csh language (see lstlang1.sty)

you could cheat and change the font for comments

commentstyle=\normalfont\footnotesize

or disable the # as a comment char (I don't know how to do that)

maybe test
\begin{lstlisting}[escapechar=ø]
ø#ø!/bin/csh
\end{lstlisting}

My newsreader and I couldn't find any encoding declaration in your
posting. Probably you are using a Unicode character (>7bit) as
escapechar. However listings doesn't support Unicode.

`#' works with both the default language and language `csh' directly.
If you are escaping, then you are inside TeX, there \# prints a `#'.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[escapechar=\%]
#!/bin/csh
%\#%!/bin/csh
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=csh]
#!/bin/csh
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

It is the character "ø" which indeed works fine:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}

\begin{lstlisting}[escapechar=ø, language=csh]
ø\#ø!/bin/csh
#abc
\end{lstlisting}

\end{document}
