RegExp issue(s)

[therks]

Oh believe me, I did. And once you get a replace function working for RegEx's I'll be very happy. I wish PHP had implemented this type of functionality in their regex's. I have to do patterns like "\[b\][^\[]+\[/b\]" to do something like what your pattern does with this "\[b\].+?\[/b\]".

I have a list of invalid chars and it should not match them.

These are the chars:

/ < > ? [ ]: | *

Why does the following fail?

$sFolder = "\Program Files\AutoIt3"
StringRegExp($sFolder, '[^/<>\?\[\]:|\*]{' & StringLen($sFolder) & '}')
If @Extended Then
   MsgBox(64, "Test", "Successful!")
Else
   MsgBox(64, "Test", "Failure!")
EndIf

*bump*

As near as I can figure out, the pattern isn't escapeing the closebracket you have, so it's not working properly. Cus if you change the pattern to take out the \] it returns fine.

$sFolder = "\Program Files\AutoIt3"
StringRegExp($sFolder, '[^/<>\?\[:|\*]{' & StringLen($sFolder) & '}')
If @Extended Then
   MsgBox(64, "Test", "Successful!")
Else
   MsgBox(64, "Test", "Failure!")
EndIf

Another bug I guess.

I knew it. I tried alot of variations with that pattern and it kept failing.

I can leave \] out for now, until it's fixed.
