#2 Expression match error

[Anonymous]

Running Version 1.0.0.3

Tested the following expression. (ignore case & mulitline
on)
\w*

On this text.
((u_9()***!#$)(*!_&#%

My result was a match count of 20. I expect only
the 'u_9' should have been a match.

you should have put \w+ instead of \w*

anyway... I have released a new version of the RegEx Tester tool. You can download it free from http://www.codeproject.com/KB/string/regextester.aspx and http://sourceforge.net/projects/regextester

With RegEx Tester you can fully develop and test your regular expression against a target text. It's UI is designed to aid you in the RegEx developing. It uses and supports ALL of the features available in the .NET RegEx Class.
