C# Scanner

[sloncho]

I have tried this scanner, and it works ok, but unfortunately it breaks with a simple case:

public void TestCode()
{
   Console.WriteLine("breaks here");
}
It produces this error:
***ERROR in scanner.rb:200:in `tokenize': Unknown token content type: :open, kind = :string (after 0 tokens)
tokens:
current line: 3  column: 23  pos: 47
matched: "\""  state: "Error in CodeRay::Scanners::CSharp#scan_tokens, initial state was: nil"
bol? = false,  eos? = false
surrounding code:
"ode()\n{\n   Console.WriteLine(\""  ~~  "breaks here\");\n}\n"
***ERROR***


Unfortunately, I'm not a Ruby dev, so I could not really locate the problem. Any help will be highly appreciated.

So, a bug report for a pull request ^^ Does Joshua Galvez have a GitHub account so we can inform him?

Hmmm, I just read the "current" java scanner. It's a lot different than this old code. I guess it'll need a total rewrite in order to be used with the current coderay.

You're right, the error does seem to result from incompatiblity.

As I'm not ruby dev, but have very good knowledge of c#, how can I help modifying the existing java scanner to create a new c# one?

Ey, dudes! It will be great to have a scanner of C# (we use it intensively in Redmine environment).
Thanks for trying sloncho!

There's a scanner for C# attached to http://www.redmine.org/boards/3/topics/11616#message-37780 that should work with Coderay 1.0.x, I haven't tried it though.

I have wrote another C# scanner: #186

Great news!

[ganaware]

There are some bugs, so I withdraw this request #186 .

I'm now fixing bugs in https://github.com/ganaware/coderay/tree/csharp-scanner ,
and testing in https://github.com/ganaware/coderay-scanner-tests/tree/csharp-scanner .

Please try it.
