#99 Possible bug: RegEx won't match

[exalted]

For the string Foo<Bar, IEnumerable<Baz>>, the regex foo.*ienum won't match. Any ideas why?

• non case sensitive
• not whole word

I created a test file with this string in it and then performed a search using your regular express and got the correct result.

Is it possible for you to send me the log file (Help -> Log File) after you have tried this search? It might also be helpful to send an example file that has those contents if possible.

Thanks,
Curtis

I am surprised you weren't able to replicate it.

You can find test.txt file that I used as an attachment to this message.

What's in the log file is below (it is also attached):

Also, if instead of foo.*ienum you search for foo.*enum (notice the missing 'i'), it will match. (I noticed this behavior first in Visual Studio's search function, then replicated with AstroGrep. I suspect it's something about the .NET regex engine.)

Weird, isn'it it?

Interesting, I still can't replicate your issue, even using your test file. I'm wondering if you have an exclusion set that is excluding this file for some reason? You should be able to check the exclusion messages by selecting View -> Exclusion Messages after a search.

Also, I'm not sure if this is an issue with this, but what is your language set to on the os level? I noticed the time display in the log has a comma, perhaps something with a different language is causing an issue.

It looks like we are both running Win 10 as well, so not exactly sure the difference. Perhaps you can also upload your *.config files from the %appdata%\astrogrep folder.

Thanks for taking the time to work this out with me.

I think it's not related to exclusion set. I say that because, same file will match if you search for foo.*enum (notice the missing 'i') instead of foo.*ienum.

Regardless, after I did the search, View > Exclusion Messages is disabled. Instead this is the screenshot for View > All Messages:

Below are OS language settings & regional settings for date/time/number formats:

Sure, you can find AstroGrepConfigs.zip as an attachment to this message.

Let me know if I can help in any other way.

Cheers!

Can't seem to reproduce on the latest version (setting to pending unless I can find the cause).

Unable to reproduce with the specific version and future versions.
