Unfortunately, no. That rule applies to the source text of the entire file, so it is not smart enough to understand context, unless you can encode that context within the regex.

Subject: [Codenarc-user] Illegal Regex Ignore String and Comments

Hi,

I'm using the Illegal Regex rule to disallow a few specific things in my groovy code.

Is there a way to make the rule ignore strings and comments? For exemple, I want any question marks to be preceded by a space, but I'd like to not cause a violation if this occurs in a string or a comment (especially since strings may contain URIs with parameters specified using question marks)

Thanks,
Eric Wehrmeister
