The problem with "literal" option should have shown up in
regexPluginTest 43c, but the intending replacement string and option
were not defined prior to or applied to the test. The literal option
is supposed to bypass all evaluation and substitution applied to the
replacement string.
Examples:
win.debug(?"Expected: \x22This subject had quotations.\x22")
win.debug("Actual:", regex.pcrereplace(?X"X, ;;+
?X"This subject has quotations."X, ?"\x22", "literal"))
;The quotations should be literally replaced by backslash x 2 2.
win.debug("")
local notefolder = pprofolder++?"notes"
win.debug("Expected: Notes folder: "++pprofolder++?"Notes")
win.debug("Actual: ",regex.pcrereplace(?": \K", ?"Notes folder: ", ;;+
notefolder, "literal"))
;there s/b no control characters or missing backslashes
here are the newer defines in pcre.h
#define PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF 0x00800000
#define PCRE_BSR_UNICODE 0x01000000
#define PCRE_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT 0x02000000
#define PCRE_CONFIG_BSR 8
newish Compile-Time options
PCRE_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT
PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF
PCRE_BSR_UNICODE
newish Exec-Time options
PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF
PCRE_BSR_UNICODE
newish property of the pcre library:
PCRE_CONFIG_BSR
if zero, means backslash-R normally matches all Unicode line endings
if one, means backslash-R normally matches CR, LF, or CRLF only
