--- Comment #2 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> --- I've tested httpd and the behaviour is as follows: Before any matches are attempted, $1 and friends are set to the empty string After a successful match, $1 and friends remember the contents of the group until the next match is attempted (not is successful) After an unsuccessful match, $1 and friends are set to the empty string At first glance, this looks fairly easy to implement. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
