[Nano-devel] bug or feature: zero length regex error

[Mike Frysinger]

this line the c syntax code for highlighting strings:
color brightyellow start=""(\\.|[^"])*\\[[:space:]]*$" end="^(\\.|[^"])*""

causes a small issue when editing some .c files ... for example, run:
$ nano some-file-that-doesnt-exist.c
and type just a single semi-colon ';' ... you should get this message back:
Refusing zero-length regex match
