[wxRegEx] with (wxRE_ADVANCED) [need help]

[tomay3000]

Hello,
1st - what does (built-in regex only) means in wxRE_ADVANCED definition ?
2nd - This regex expression assertion is never matching!!

Code: Select all

wxRegEx reCIMI("\r\n(\d{15})\r\n\r\nOK\r\n", wxRE_ADVANCED | wxRE_ICASE);
wxASSERT(reCIMI.Matches("\r\n603032919337089\r\n\r\nOK\r\n"))

What could be the problem ?

Thank you for your understanding.

wxRegex is built on top of either the system library (if it has support for POSIX regular expressions - which is the case of the most modern Unices) or uses the built in Henry Spencer's library. Henry Spencer would appreciate being given credit in the documentation of software which uses his library, but that is not a requirement.

wxRegEx reCIMI("\r\n(\d{15})\r\n\r\nOK\r\n", wxRE_ADVANCED | wxRE_ICASE);

It could be that

When using the system library in Unicode mode, the expressions and data are translated to the default 8-bit encoding before being passed to the library.

and somehow as part of this conversion the carriage return and newline escapes are being converted from escape sequences to string literals "\r\n" instead of "\x0d\x0a"

It could be that you need to OR in wxRE_NEWLINE to your regex flags

it probably isnt, but the possibility exists that you need to include those stupid %$@%ing slashes like you do in javascript and such
