#178 Unhandled Exception Error in Find / Replace (regular expr)

[Anonymous]

I tried to replace EOLs from my file and used the
regular expression "$". The editor told me, that no
matches could be found.
My next try was to use "*$" - here the editor responded
with an error message: "An unhandled Exception was
raised. Message: TRegExpr(comp): ?+*{Follows Nothing
(pos 1). Class: TTBItem".

Finding empty lines with "^$" works.

I use syn Version 2.1.0.46 on a Windows 2000 PC.

Fixed for v3.0

Example was incorrectly an incorrectly formed regular
expression (at least to our regex engine) and there was not
trap on the exception that was thrown.
