http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2121 '.' or '-' in bracket expression gives unexpected results ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-25 19:40 ------- In current version (1.4-dev) only three regexps from list provided in this bug produce results unexpected by submitter: ([a-z0-9-]+) matches "regexp" instead of "regexp-1" ([a-z0-9.-]+) - "{regexp" instead of "regexp-1.2" ([a-z0-9\\.-]+) - "{regexp" instead of "regexp-1.2" The cause of this problem is that jakarta-regexp consider [-] as interval from 0 upto Character.MAX_VALUE. And [a-] as interval from a upto Character.MAX_VALUE. So, we can say that this is a feature and do not fix this. Or say that this is a bug, but on this way we will have to change behavior of '- ' when it is first/last character in []. The advantage of latter approach is that jakarta-regexp will be more compatible with Perl, gnu-regexp and Sun's regexp implementation (I think ORO too, but I don't have it to check). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
