crash with RegExpSubstitute

[Alex Becherer]

i know, it's probably my fault due to bad understanding of regular expressions, anyways:

using

Code: Select all

RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="":"1"

crashes Rainmeter.

type of the measure seems not to matter, happened with both Time and Webparser

Windows 7 SP 1
Rainmeter 2.4.0 beta r1617 64-bit

You have to give the regex something to match. If you want to match only the empty string, try "^$". If you want to match "only whitespace" also, try "^\s*$".

This has been fixed for the next beta.

BTW - This was already reported, but somehow slipped through the cracks.

thanks
i had a solution, using a conditional operator in a Calc measure, but this is much better.

It is really better to use RegExp="^$":"" as that is a valid regular expression, but we have "allowed" for the improper one as it is an easy mistake to make.
