[Bug TC 6.54a] Find Files/Search in plugins/regex

Post by *white » 2006-04-21, 19:21 UTC

Hit ALT+F7
Select Plugins-Tab
Enable checkbox "Search in plugins"
Make 1 rule: Plugin "tc", Property "fullname", OP "regex", value "["
Start Search

It looks like any error in the regular expression will cause TC to stop working correctly. Try for instance also value "\" instead of "[".

Confirm please.

Confirmed. I could not close the search window after the error message. There was no way to exit TC, only by killing the process.

Confirmed too.

Okay. I have reported it by e-mail.

I have reported it in the betaboard too.

Well, you cannot use a single "[" as regex.

It has a special meaning there. You have to use something like "[abcd]" for a complete expression.

If you are searching for a "[" character, you have to escape it first like "\[" !

Nevertheless TC should not freeze anyway ...

Strange, I'm not getting a freeze, I get an error message! But I will catch the exception silently in the next version.

I get this error mesage, too. And after that I can still edit the search dilaog. But I can neither stop the (endless) search nor close the search dialog.

Only way to get rid of the search dialog is to kill the task.
