Exlude MQL4 colors from formating (e.g. C'250,250,250')

I'm using visual studio code for MQL4 files (*.mq4 - Metatrader) and using cpp associations in my settings "files.associations": { "*.mqh": "cpp", "*.mq4": "cpp", "*.mq5": "cpp", } I also switched to the Google formatter with the following setting "C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle": "{ BasedOnStyle: Google, IndentWidth: 4, ColumnLimit: 0}" Everything is perfect but in mq4 you can use predefined colors like clrBlack, clrWhite, .... or use any RGB value in the format C'250,250,250' When I use such a RGB color and format the file the formatter adds a space after the C - so C'250,250,250' gets C '250,250,250' <-- see the space after "C" and this doesn't compile anymore. How can I "whitelist" this for the cpp formatter? Thanks

I solved this by using the method: StringToColor("33,44,33")
