Regex help needed editing the function list xml file

Thomas An

I am trying to edit the Notepad++ xml file to display a Javascript “class” (prototype functions) hierarchy as nodes and have (preferably) the public methods nested underneath and the private methods also displayed in the tree

The objective is to have it recognize a coding convention that looks like:

 function TypeMyClass ()
 {
    Private properties
    var a;
    var b;

    //Public properties
    this.c;
    this.d;

    //Private methods
    var Init = function ()
    {
     //... Do something ...
    }

    //Public methods
    this.GetVarA = function ()
    {
      return a;
    }

    //Initialization
    Init ();
 }

This is what I have so far, but I am getting nothing:

id="js_function" 
displayName="Javascript" 
commentExpr="((/\*.*?\*)/|(//.*?$))"
>     <!--parser: sniff comment lines; either /*blah*/ or // blah -->
<classRange
    mainExpr="^[\s]*function([\s]+[_A-Za-z]?[\w_]*\([^\)\(]*\)|\([^\)\(]*\))[\n\s]*\{" 
    openSymbole = "\{"
    closeSymbole = "\}"
    displayMode = "node"
    > 
    <className>
        <nameExpr expr="[_A-Za-z]?[\w_]*[\s]*\("/>    <!--Narrow down from mainExpr towards the class names-->
        <nameExpr expr="[_A-Za-z]?[\w_]"/>            <!--Narrow down to the name itself -->
    </className>
    <function
        mainExpr="(var/let|(this+[.]))+[\s]*[_A-Za-z][\w_]*[\s]*[=]+[\s]*[_A-Za-z][\w_]*[\s]*\("
        displayMode="$functionName">                  <!--function: is used to find the method definitions -->
        <functionName>
            <nameExpr expr="[_A-Za-z][\w_]*[\s]*[=]+[\s]*[_A-Za-z]?[\w_]*[\s]*\("/> <!--Narrow down the mainExpr-->
            <nameExpr expr="[_A-Za-z][\w_]*[\s]*[=]"/>                              <!--Narrow further down to the name itself -->
        </functionName>
    </function>

try this one

		<!-- ========================================================= [ JS FPS ] -->			
		
		<parser 
		  displayName="Javascript" 
		  id="js_function" 
		  commentExpr="(?s:/\*.*?\*/)|(?m-s://.*?$)"
		>
		
			<function

				mainExpr="((^|\s+|[;\}\.])([A-Za-z_]\w*\.)*[A-Za-z_]\w*\s*[=:]|^|[\s;\}]+)\s*function(\s+[A-Za-z_]?\w*\([^\)\(]*\)|\([^\)\(]*\))[\n\s]*\{"
			>
				<functionName>


					<nameExpr expr="[A-Za-z_]\w*\s*[=:]|[A-Za-z_]?\w*\s*\(" />
					<nameExpr expr="[A-Za-z_]?\w*" />
				</functionName>



				<className>
					<nameExpr expr="([A-Za-z_]\w*\.)*[A-Za-z_]\w*\." />
