Regex problems with non-ascii characters

[peter]

Hi,

ZP behaves quite weird when a regexp expression has certain non-ASCII characters. Just one example: when the ellipsis is not written with three points like ... but with the proper character: …
I have attached an example file plus a screenshot of its result. You can see that only one character is replaced, while the others are intact.

Are you aware of the problem?
Thanks!

use System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex
it works fine

LexxWork, Thank you for your quick reply & workaround! May I have some more questions?
- could you just paste the code I should use in the c# block?
- what is your experience, are these kind of c#-based regex matches faster than the ”normal” regex?

simple code

string your_variable = project.Variables["text"].Value; // "…………………"
return System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(your_variable, "…", "-");

LexxWork, большое спасибо! It works - also checked whether it is faster than the build regex match, ...just for the record, found no difference.

Anyway, it would be nice to have this bug fixed. Thanks!

What you expect it to do with these settings?

Ooops, I am sorry, then the problem was located between the chair and the keyboard..
Anyway this was an example file just to illustrate the problem. I do have had some oddities with regexps, but 'll try to investigate it further so that I could reproduce it, sorry for this again.

We do not use any special lib for reg expressions. standard NET
i doubt there are any errors. anyway, any particular example is welcomed.
