Re: Search pattern works in Notepad++ , but not in BBEdit

['wbrisett' via BBEdit Talk]

I will point out that parsing XML with regex isn't really how you should do 
things... (but then I work with XML every day and I do understand there are 
some needs that XSLT and XPATH won't work for with folks).

Re: Search pattern works in Notepad++ , but not in BBEdit

[Samir Vasaya]

Hi Jean,
thanks for confirming my observations.
yes the tag you mentioned is not closed.
I have mailed to barebones, and I found  them to be very supportive and 
they have promised a fix, 
may be not soon , but they are working to solve the issue.

Thanks.

Re: Search pattern works in Notepad++ , but not in BBEdit

[jj]

Hi Samir,

A few remarks.

1. The  tag is not correctly closed in you XML 
example.

2. I can reproduce the issue you mention and effectively BBEdit is 
returning garbage in the 'Replacement Text' field of the playground even if 
it shows the correct \2 in the 'Capture Groups' table.

3. If you use your pattern/replacement in a find/replace over you sample 
text and extract the results in a new document,  you can clearly see with 
'File > Hex Dump Front Document' that the replacements are pointing to 
random memory.

4. There is apparently a bug somewhere.

5. You should send an email to supp...@barebones.com with your issue to 
open a case.

HTH,

Jean Jourdain
