IsRegExp command

[normeus]

Please use @Didelphodon's excellent Rexman

It is written with PureBasic and it will give you the exact regex to use in PureBasic

so you can try different permutations of your code until you get it right. It even comes with a regex cheat sheet.

Hello!

I seemed to have fixed the prefixes decoding.

All I had to do was to add a "\b" to the beginning of the pattern and remove the $ from the end.

However, it gives a false positive if the word has a ' in it.

Code: Select all

    #RegularExpression=1

    a$="aster"
    b$="[^abehilmopru]."

    ; Try to match regular expression - 27/JAN/2019 + 28/JAN/2019 + 31/JAN/2019
    CreateRegularExpression(#RegularExpression,"\b"+b$,#PB_RegularExpression_DotAll)
    match=MatchRegularExpression(#RegularExpression,a$)
    FreeRegularExpression(#RegularExpression)
    Debug match
    
    
    
    
    a$="aster's"
    b$="[^abehilmopru]."    
    
    ; Try to match regular expression - 27/JAN/2019 + 28/JAN/2019 + 31/JAN/2019
    CreateRegularExpression(#RegularExpression,"\b"+b$,#PB_RegularExpression_DotAll)
    match=MatchRegularExpression(#RegularExpression,a$)
    FreeRegularExpression(#RegularExpression)
    Debug match    
    

How can I fix it?

Thanks!

Kind regards,

EDIT: It also triggers #True with a$="aster-s"
