Comment #27 on issue 854 by imranoft...@gmail.com: Regular expression
support for embedded argument syntax
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=854
unless I am missing something python regular expression don't distinguish
between } and \} in a normal use case.
the following are equivalent
var = 'a}{';
regex = re.compile(r'a\}\{');
regex = re.compile(r'a}{');
regex = re.compile(r'a{1}}{');
we could go with something in between
${x:\d{4}} and ${x:[^\}]+}
we can just enhance the VariableSplitter to ignore "\{" and "\}" and have
it as part of the regex. Then python will handle it properly. We wouldn't
need to worry about escaping backslash in this case. just mentioning that
we would need to escape any literal curlies in the regex should be enough.
What are your thoughts?
