[vb2py-users] Faulty assumption in hex color regular expression.

[Nils R G. <ni...@pa...>]

In line 416 in vb2py.py:

pattern = re.compile("\&H00([A-F0-9]{6})\&", re.MULTILINE)

assumes that all colors starts with "&H00". They don't.

System color constants start with "&H80" as far as I can
see, so no replacement is done in such cases. The following
exec then fails, of course.


pattern = re.compile("\&H([A-F0-9]{8})\&", re.MULTILINE)

def sub_hex(match):
    txt = match.groups()[0]
    return "(%d, %d, %d)" % (int(txt[2:4], 16),
                             int(txt[4:6], 16),
                             int(txt[6:8], 16))


would "fix" it, but most likely give very silly colors
for system color cases.
