Sebb updated NET-526:
---------------------
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
> Avoid greedy matches within a regex
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: NET-526
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-526
> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sebb
>
> Some of the FTP directory parsers use greedy qualifiers - ".*" - within a
> regex.
> This can be expensive, as it may require backtracking.
> It's usually better to use a reluctant qualifier - e.g. ".*?" - except at the
> end of an RE.
