Summary REGRESSION: RegEx seems broken for hex escaped non breaking space

Reported 2006-04-14 13:57:37 PDT
The RegEx engine is not behaving correctly for special characters (Octal escaped &nbsp; anyway.) This shouldn't match \s according to the info I have read, which makes sense, but this script works fine in the current Release version. <html><head> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.2"> <!-- var text = "foo"; var nbsp = "\xa0"; alert("Orig: (" + text + ")"); text = text + nbsp + nbsp + nbsp; alert("After: (" + text + ")"); var re = new RegExp(/\xa0*$/); text = text.replace(re,''); alert("Stripped: (" + text + ")"); //--> </script> </head> <body></body> </html>

Doing more tests I find that \xa0 works fine by itself in a regular expression. It's only failing when it comes right before a *. I suspect the bug is with any character > 127 before a * in a regular expression.

It's worth noting that we have dreams of submitting upstream to PCRE, and, initially, at least, they've said they're amenable by email. We just haven't had the time to work it out.

The current svn-apply script (and it's had this "feature" for a while now) thinks it can apply patches better than patch(1) can, so all of the svn-property information at the "end" of some of the layout test files will be included in the content of the files when the patch is applied.

So the work-around is to manually fix the files with property changes in them after using svn-apply until the bug is fixed.

> Did you read Bug 9875? Sorry. I guess it was early for me. For some reason, my brain was convinced that Bug 9875 was the ChangeLog fix to svn-apply!
