How to make expression work with . (Escape for js does not work)

[deanmaster]

Hello @kevinkhill .

I hope I read you well. Current i'm stuck with creating an expression to detect the method syntax.
For example

employee.getName()

My expression look like this but it does not work. Do you know how to pass in . and ( and ) into the regex of your library?

lexer.rule(/(?<![\w\d])(\.)(getName)(?![\w\d])/, (ctx, match) => {
  ctx.accept("method");
});

To be honest... I don't remember. I made this a long time ago and don't remember how it works........

I think you need to be more generic with the rule. Instead of matching the actual method, match that a word is following a "." and ends with "(" because that would indicate a method.
