failing regex options

Post by ralph.ronnquist »

This problem got lost in the other thread. Namely that regex does not accept option flags 128, 256 or 1024.

Code: Select all

> (regex "x" "xxx" 128)

ERR: regular expression in function regex : "offset 0 unknown option bit(s) set"
> (regex "x" "xxx" 256)

ERR: regular expression in function regex : "offset 0 unknown option bit(s) set"
> (regex "x" "xxx" 1024)

ERR: regular expression in function regex : "offset 0 unknown option bit(s) set"

The options PCRE_NOTBOL 128, PCRE_NOTEOL 256 and PCRE_NOTEMPTY 1024 now work:

Ps: see also post in newS section of forum about the significance of the PCRE_UTF8 option (--> Ted Walther)
