Heh, I won't goto that trouble, I can see myself really messing things up!
Peace, Mike
Darron,
If it's a concern, then when you build your regex don't escape the \'s,
and as a last step before you convert them to strings just do a quick
find/replace with \ to \\ on the regex.
> convert them to strings ... ?
I am back into the easy bake oven and burned myself.
Are you saying when I write a regexp as a string? Then do a replace on them?
The problem is, once you even write a string, it converts them. So it's like the chicken-egg thing. I can't even get the string to a point where I could do this. The string literal allready baked the backslash out.
Ok, I am done wasting time, back to the double backslashes until Adobe makes multiline regexp for me. ;-)
PS, There seems to be this notion in my mid that I am completly missunderstanding you, if this is the case could you clarify for me? If so, everything I wrote means nothing :)
Peace, Mike

Of course. We're always interested in feedback on whether we're making the right decisions.

Doh, really? I've actually been using it a decent amount. It's especially handy in testing the SHA1 hash of a million letter a's to verify the hash algorithm is correct:var millionAs:StringBuilder = new StringBuilder
( '' );
millionAs.ensureCapacity(
1000000 );
for ( var i:
int = 0; i < 1000000
; i++ ) {
millionAs.append(
'a' );
}assertSHA1( millionAs.
toString(), "34aa973cd4c4daa4f61eeb2bdbad27316534016f"
);
I realize the above loop could be unrolled to make it perform even faster (by appending more 'a's in each append call, and reducing the number of iterations by 10x, 100x, etc). But StringBuilder in this case was a lot faster than using a regular string.. though, I imagine this isn't really a typical use-case.
That said, however, it would be a shame to see StringBuilder go -- especially after having written a decent number of pages for it for an upcoming book. Can I petition? :-)
