I'm a rookie with regular expressions, but isn't it asking: "match on starts with 'abc' or ends with def"
both of those are true so it seems to me like it would match. Why wouldn't it? -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Gartner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2001 4:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Why does this RE matches? Am I missing something? Hello, I added this test to the RETest.txt file. RE says that the expression DOES match. Is this to be expected? I don't think so.... #149 ^(abc)|(def)$ abcdef NO (jakarta-regexp-1.2) Regards, Matthias -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
