Description
(Original issue 741 created by rossmeissl on 2012-02-29T19:31:08.001285+00:00)
The pattern was last edited by @thatch here: [[https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main/changeset/6f317b427b60|6f317b427b60]]
Currently we have:
{{{
prompt_re = re.compile('irb([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]):\d{3}:\d+[>"'] '|>> |?> ')
}}}
But newer Ruby IRB sessions look like this:
{{{
$ irb
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :001 > puts "test"
test
=> nil
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :002 >
}}}
This results in essentially non-highlighted IRB sessions.
