[DOCS] Pattern Matching doc
Hi,
I've noticed two issues with the 8.4 documentation, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/functions-matching.html
Firstly, search for "///". This should only have two slashes "//".
Secondly, search for "An RE cannot..." after the table named "Regular
Expression Atoms". I think this should be changed to "A regular expression
pattern cannot..." (or alternatively, "A pattern cannot...".
I've produced a diff output using
pgsql/browser/trunk/pgsql/doc/src/sgml/func.sgml from CVS
3448c3448
< SELECT foo FROM regexp_split_to_table('the quick brown fox jumped over the
lazy dog', E'\\\s+') AS foo;
---
> SELECT foo FROM regexp_split_to_table('the quick brown fox jumped over the
> lazy dog', E'\\s+') AS foo;
3648c3648
< An RE cannot end with \.
---
> A regular expression pattern cannot end with \.
Regards,
-Mike

This should only have two slashes "//". You mean \\\, right? Yeah, that's bogus ... not actually incorrect, but the third backslash is redundant. > Secondly, search for "An RE cannot..." after the table named "Regular > Expression Atoms". I think this should be changed to "A regular expression > pattern cannot..." (or alternatively, "A pattern cannot...". The constructs "the RE" and "an RE" are all over that section, and the abbreviation is defined right at the top. I think expanding them all would just make it longer, not more readable. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
