[flex] Syntax highlighting breaks after escaped '

[bogdanbebic]

Syntax highlighting reacts to escaped ' as if the ' was not escaped.

Hi @bogdanbebic checking and updating my repos here. I got a ton of notifications accumulated for all years I was offline. Lets check it and see if I can fix it in new versions 👍

@faustinoaq Any progress on this?

I had some time to look into what might be causing this problem, and I found this rule:

vscode-lex-flex-yacc-bison/syntaxes/lex.tmLanguage

Line 352 in 54a561c

<string>\\(?i:[0-9]{1,3}|x[0-9a-f]{1,2}|.)</string>

This rule seems to escape only the char constants ascii values.
Something similar can probably be written to implement escaping of string quoting to fix this issue
