match() bug
Feb 14th, 2008, 5:04pm  
Have been messing around trying to get my regular expressions working in the PDE using match()and wasn't getting any success at all. Eventually i tried the exact example in the documentation

Code:

String s = "Inside a tag, you will find content.";
String[] m = match(s, "(\S+)");
println("Found " + m[0] + " inside the tag.");


This didn't work either. The error is "Unexpected char: 'S'".  Was having all sorts of problems with other expressions but from this it seems like it's a bit broken.

Any ideas?

sorry, that's a typo in the reference. it should be \\S not \S.

(edit) actually, that's a bug in the reference converter, which seems to be converting the \\ to a single \. will look into it.
