Hello everyone,
running on GS 3.4.3 (with image built from extent0.seaside.dbf), I tried
to build a Regex pattern to match an UUID.
Unfortunately the following expression evaluates to false:
'[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}'
asRegex matches: '964d5d07-1834-0d00-a106-47ae08909eb2'
The same code evaluates to true in Pharo. It seems that the handling of
the quantifiers in braces doesn't work as expected.
All Tests (nearly 200) in Regex-Tests-Core Package are passing, but I
did not see any similar test case with quantifiers.
Could this be considered as a bug or is there something wrong with the
pattern?
Should the Regex-Package in Pharo and GemStone be/behave the same?
Br,
Ralph
