Bug ID: 2406
Summary: Non-greedy multiline match appears to be greedy
Product: PCRE
Version: 10.33 (PCRE2)
Hardware: x86
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Code
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
I am using pcre2-10.33.tar.gz with this test file:
-----------
Date=A
Key=AAA-BBB-CCC
RECORD
Date=B
Key=NONE
RECORD
Date=C
Key=AAA-BBB-ZZZ
RECORD
----------
Using the following reports two matches, as expected, but the second match
seems to incorporate Date=B, whereas my expectation using the non-greedy match
*? is that the output should only include Date=C:
$ pcre2grep -M '(?s)Date=.*?\nKey=AAA-BBB-' /tmp/foo.txt
Date=A
Key=AAA-BBB-CCC
Date=B
Key=NONE
RECORD
Date=C
Key=AAA-BBB-ZZZ
