Console.WriteLine("This is a test\nShould this line break be coloured?\nAs it would be a lot easier to read");

So in the above code.. all the \n stuff are coloured the same as the string itself. I was wondering is that is working as intended or if there is something wrong? If not.. is there a way ot make these things coloured?

This is working as intended. Once you start looking at more complex escape sequences, let alone regular expressions, this quickly becomes a bit tricky.

Are you aware of literal strings in C#? You can replace this line with the code:

    Console.WriteLine(@"This is a test
Should this line break be coloured?
As it would be a lot easier to read");

which makes it a lot easier to read and edit, and is still valid code.

cool... yeah.. thanks I knew of that. Though you are right I am a beginner. I was just curious if it was supposed to be like that or if there was a error or something. As the / stuff was coloured in my last editing package is all.

Thanks for the reply.

It makes sense that some editors do this, but no, it's not something that either VA or the IDE tries to do.
