Subject: Numeric range bug
Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 14:25:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9907281225.AA34297@ibmth.df.unipi.it> (raw)

around for years and no-one's complained.  I'm planning a rewrite of the
pattern matching code anyway.

+Numeric ranges are still too greedy with using characters; for example,
+<1-1000>33 will not match 633 because the 633 matches the range.  Some
+backtracking will be necessary.
