Are the regular expression macros working in NewLisp 10.4.5?

Hi!

Having some trouble with regular expressions... It seems that \d and \D aren't working for me:

Code: Select all

> (find "\d+" "3432" 0) $0
nil
"433"
> (find "\D+" "XC3432" 0) $0
nil
"433"
> (find "[0-9]+" "3432" 0) $0
0
"3432"

I'll limp along with "[0-9]" for now, but it would be nice to know what's going on with the others. According to the PCRE manpage, they should work.

Using newLISP v.10.4.5 on Win32 IPv4/6 libffi from the most recent installer, running on XP64.

Thanks!

Try doubling the slashes?

Feetfish! I thought I had tried that and it didn't work!

Code: Select all

> (find "\\d+" "3432" 0) $0
0
"3432"
> (find "\\D+" "XC3432" 0) $0
0
"XC"

But it does work. Thanks Cormullion!
