Bug ID: 1884
Summary: Misleading documentation about \num escapes
Product: PCRE
Version: 8.39
Hardware: x86
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: p...@hermes.cam.ac.uk
Reporter: firas....@gmail.com
CC: pcre-dev@exim.org
The documentation (read from PCRE.txt on pcre.org/pcre.txt) states the
following:
\81 is either a back reference, or a binary zero
followed by the two characters "8" and "1"
But after some testing I have come to find out it actually seems to treat it as
an escaped literal 8 followed by a literal 1.
This is either a bug in the documentation or the code, I believe.
