regex problem

Code:

return [regexp {: (.+)} {004 ]: Eggdrop 1.6.17 released

ok i changed it. but still it returns 0 after entering long strings.



the following works fine:Code: 
return [regexp {lala(.+)la(.+)a} {lala123lala}]

you forgot to escape "?" in the html code. btw. you should use {} braces around the re expressions, this makes even the escaping of the " quotes redudant .
besides... whats the meaning of "?" in "(.+?)"?Statistics: Posted by De Kus — Thu May 19, 2005 3:41 am

hi i'm having a problem with regex
Code: 
return [regexp "^.*test(.+?)test.*" "testlalatest"]
returns 1.
so far so good.

but if i extend the string an the matchstring it is not working anymore.
Code: 
#normally the code is in one line - but it's much more easy to read now :)#return [regexp "^.*test(.+?)test.*" "testlalatest"]
as you can see ... i just added sume htmlstuff in the front. but suddenly it returns 0


is there a limit of the stringlength or did i something wrong?Statistics: Posted by ex — Wed May 18, 2005 11:09 pm
