js-beautify adds a space between # and include

[ghost]

I'm using js-beautify when coding for Adobe After Effects that uses Javascript. The problem is that when I write #include js-beautify changes it to # include and breaks the code.
Is there a way to ignore # signs or another way to fix this or will it need to be done in the source-code?

Thanks!

The ignore directive might work:

Please provide an example input, expected output and actual output.

Input

The code looked like this before beautification:

#include "settings.jsxinc"

Expected Output

The code should have looked like this after beautification:

#include "settings.jsxinc"

Actual Output

The code actually looked like this after beautification:

# include "settings.jsxinc"

Putting my includes between beautify preserve fixed the problem! I searched for a good hour but for some reason I missed beautify preserve.
Thanks!

Note: the above is definitely not valid JavaScript, so it's not really a surprise that the beautifier doesn't handle it. Where can I find the spec for this language?

Here you have all documented info about Extendscript:http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/aftereffects/scripting/JavaScript-Tools-Guide-CC.pdf
I have used js-beautify for years with this language without problem except now with the #include

I've pulled this into the next milestone. Getting the #include back is a minor change.

I just ran this on v1.8.6 and the break has evolved. It no longer adds a space between the '#' and the 'include', now it inserts a newline:
Actual output:

#
include "settings.jsxinc"
