In BASIC, strings can be delimited with single quotes, double quotes or back-slashes.  The plug-in doesn't recognize \\s as string delimiters.

Also, multi-line strings aren't allowed, but if there's unmatched quotes, the string syntax highlighting will continue across multiple lines until a matching quote is found.

This is especially noticeable when \\"\\ is used to insert a quote into a string.

Hi, Raymond.

Could you please provide a sample code for below? Please also let me know what is your DB name(UV or D3) and account flavor used, then I can double check with dev team to see if we can put this into an enhancement in future, thanks.

Hi Chao:

thanks for create plugins for vscode and I have used it every day. 

I have one example syntax error below:

THIS.LN = '{'

THIS.LN := \\"date":"\\:THIS.DATE:'",' ;* Caused plugIn syntax error

Hi, Libin.

Thanks for the update and I just tried it out with your sample code, but I didn't see a syntax error with below code, is that possible to log a support case for this? then we can start a WebEx meeting to take a look, thanks.
