[9fans] regexp doubt

[hugo rivera]

Hi,
can someone tell me why the regular expression /stat[abc]?[ ;\-]/
doesn't match the string "stat-" in acme? I expect it to match, where
does my mistake lie?
Saludos,

not really, since there's a '?' REP operator there. And it actually
matches strings like "stat;"

Can you try:

/stat[abc]?[ ;\\-]/

I am not sure (and I do not have acme here), but probably the problem
is with the backslash.

You can try this too:

/stat[abc]?[ ;-]/

Saludos.

Re: [9fans] regexp doubt

[hugo rivera]

both of them yield a

regexp: malformed `[]'

error.
I forgot to mention and I had an alternative solution from the
beginning /stat[abc]?([ ;]|-)/
I'm just wondering the reason the original version failed.

As I recall, if you're going to include a hyphen in a character
class, it has to be the first character so that it isn't taken to
indicate a range.

Re: [9fans] regexp doubt

[hugo rivera]

maybe I'm using a buggy version of acme, because /stat[abc]?[- ;]/
also fails with a "malformed" error. And according to the regexp(7)
man page, you should be able to precede a '-' with a backslash.

That's posix & perl regexps.

if you are doing a b3 search, you want

	:/stat[abc]?[ ;\-]/

just the leading : is missing.

Re: [9fans] regexp doubt

[hugo rivera]

I wasn't searching, but using it with acme's x command.

this works for me on a buffer of "stat-\n\n\n\n"
(where \ns are newlines):

	Edit ,x/stat[abc]?[ ;\-]/p

from regexp(6)
[...]
	In s {as in [s-s]}, the metacharacters `-',
	`]', an initial `^', and the regular expression delimiter
	must be preceded by a `\'; other metacharacters have no spe-
	cial meaning and may appear unescaped.

no, the correct version is
	 /stat[abc]?[\- ;]/

I think you have found a real bug.

I created a new window containing

   x x+ x- xy

and I executed Edit ,x/x[ +\-]/d
and sure enough it doesn't delete x-.

Interesting.  Is that in p9p acme?  I just tried it in 9vx
and it did delete everything except the xy.

Re: [9fans] regexp doubt

[hugo rivera]

Yes, I'm using acme from p9p.

this really does work for me at coraid, but not at home.
the only difference i see is the fact that at coraid, 16-bit
runes are used, while i am using 32-bit runes.

/n/coraid//sys/src/cmd/acme/regx.c:487,493 - regx.c:487,493
  			exprp++;	/* eat '-' */
  			if((c2 = nextrec()) == ']')
  				goto Error;
- 			classp[n+0] = 0xFFFF;
+ 			classp[n+0] = Runemax;
  			classp[n+1] = c1;
  			classp[n+2] = c2;
  			n += 3;

Re: [9fans] regexp doubt

[erik quanstrom]

the problem is that OPERATOR, and nextrec() now collide
with legit runes.

thanks for tracking this down.
fixed in p9p, with some extra names.
sam needs the same changes.
libregexp is okay.

It works here (both with B3 searches and Edit ,x commands). Maybe what
you have in your text is an unicode dash?
