hpwControl hpwExecRegExpPos Regex Error

[tjchan]

Hello!

I'm using this this entry that shows working in RegExBuddy:

Code: Select all

11-11-101011-(?:(?!\r).)*

The error that I am getting is:
TRegExpr(comp) Unrecognized Modifier (pos 21)

My NeoBook Code is:

Code: Select all

hpwExecRegExpPos "11-11-101011-(?:(?!\r).)*" "[data]" "[resultLocation]"

RegExBuddy is highlighting these entries for the following RegEx Code:

Code: Select all

11-11-101011-23201,972-111-6195,"AB220a-EGG, DAN", $1.00 ,DIGITAL - 12 BUTTON,,,
11-11-101011-23201,972-589-6364,"AB200-SUPER, AGENT", $1.00 ,DIGITAL - 30 BUTTON,,,
11-11-101011-23201,972-972-6384,"AB200-CHO, CHANG", $1.00 ,DIGITAL - 30 BUTTON,,,
11-11-101011-23201,972-238-6974,"AB218-JUDE, JANET", $1.00 ,DIGITAL - 30 BUTTON,,,

Thank you!

Hello,

I am able to reproduce the problem on my side.
But I have no idea what the problem is.
The syntax option for Regex are often quite difficult to understand.
Therefor there exist this nice products like RegexBuddy and RegexMagic.
The used TRegexp is now quit outdated. Maybe a reason why it does not return the same as RegexBuddy,
One idea may be to ask the author of RegexBuddy what the problem could be. He is the real expert in this stuff.

The syntax option for Regex are often quite difficult to understand.

This component does not understand:
(?=)
(?!)
(?<=)
(?<!)
(?>)
(?:)

Thanks a bunch! Will try to create a statement without those forbidden symbols. Thanks to both of you for your responses.
