I have been using a custom merge region specification looking like this:

   <languageRegionDefinitions>
      <languageKeyList>
        <key>as3</key>
        <key>as</key>
        <key>actionscript</key>
      </languageKeyList>
      <regionStartRegex>^[ \t]*//region(?:[ \t]+(?&lt;name&gt;[^\r\n]*))?\r?\n</regionStartRegex>
      <regionEndRegex>^[ \t]*//endregion.*\r?\n</regionEndRegex>
    </languageRegionDefinitions>

Defined in the file "C:\Users\carl-petter\AppData\Roaming\CodeSmith\v4.1\CodeSmithEngine.config"

It's worked great and works for my workmate too. We both use Vista.

Now a third and fourth workmate, both using XP, joined the project and they added the same to their respective config file at: 

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Codesmith\v4.1\CodesmithEngine.config

..and it doesn't preserve the custom regions when they do code generation.

Any clues what might be wrong? 

Hello,

Did the third and fourth workmates that are using XP, install CodeSmith standard by any chance? This feature is only available in the professional edition of CodeSmith. I ask this as there shouldn’t be any differences in merging when using CodeSmith on different operating systems.

Thanks

Thanks for the answer.

Nah, they had professional editions.

Turns out the wiki where I had copy/pasted the instructions how to setup custom merge region definitions had mangled the regexp, so the fault was on our end.

Cheers.
