[mLipok]

In fact there was recently closed ticket:
​https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/autoit/ticket/3656

In fact @Melba23 said:

PCRE updated for 3.3.16.0

But even using recent Alpha version (candidate for Beta which include PCRE-8.41) .... AutoIt still have problem with this simple example:

#include <Array.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>

_Example(0, '(?i)[\W]((\w)[\s\xA0]*?\d+[a-z]{0,3}\/\d\d)')

Func _Example($sTitle, $sPattern)
        Local $sText = _
                        'Dąbrowskiego43/45' & @CRLF & _
                        'Dąbrowskiego43/45' & @CRLF & _
                        'Kordeckiego1/11' & @CRLF & _
                        'Kordeckiego 1/11' & @CRLF & _
                        'm2/11' & @CRLF & _
                        'm2/12' & @CRLF & _
                        'p      3/12' & @CRLF & _
                        ''
        ConsoleWrite('>>>>>>>>>>> $sTitle = ' & $sTitle & @CRLF)
        Local $aTest = StringRegExp($sText, $sPattern, $STR_REGEXPARRAYGLOBALFULLMATCH)
        ConsoleWrite('! ---> @error=' & @error & '  @extended=' & @extended & @CRLF)
        If UBound($aTest) Then
                For $iOuter_id = 0 To UBound($aTest) - 1
                        ConsoleWrite('MATCH ' & $iOuter_id + 1 & @CRLF)
                        ConsoleWrite(_ArrayToString($aTest[$iOuter_id]) & @CRLF)
                Next
        EndIf
        ConsoleWrite('>>>>>>>>>>> END ' & @CRLF)
        ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)
        ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>_Example

Proper behavior was saved be me in this link:

I will look at 8.44
for PCRE2 noway Jon answer it was a too big change (snif snif)

[J-Paul Mesnage]

I check 8.44 same result ...

[J-Paul Mesnage]

in fact pcretest.exe 8.44 give the following result
so I don't know which is right

PCRE version 8.44 2020-02-12

/(?i)[\W]((\w)[\s\xA0]*?\d+[a-z]{0,3}\/\d\d)/g

Replying to Jpm:

in fact pcretest.exe 8.44 give the following result

Please post the same kind of result but generated by pcretest.exe 8.41

and regardles of the fact that @Jon said "no no no" ... please also show the same kind of result but generated by pcretest.exe 10.36

Then it will be possible to compare results from all this 3 versions of pcretest.exe (8.41 ... 8.44 ... 10.36) .

As for now the way how pcretest.exe show results is is not very readable (for people like me accustomed to a different way of giving the result of a RegEx query).
And for this reason comparative data are needed.
