[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 91755] Writer: regex helps misses examples 'x not y'
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91755 --- Comment #5 from sdc.bla...@youmail.dk --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #3) > Recently the ICU project relocated resources, now LO help is linked > incorrectly. Patch in comment 3 updates the link. > Not clear the project help article needs to be expanded as the ICU > documentation is comprehensive. Shall we take a bold decision? 1. Nick's request could be addressed by adding an example that addresses non-alphanumeric. (e.g. to find all cases of word but not "word"). Other examples on the page give the template for how to present the example. If someone would provide the text, then I would add it to the regex help page. (the downside with this solution is that the relevant regex operators are not mentioned on the page. Would be relevant to add them -- but the ICU explanation is incomprehensible, unless you know already know regex -- in which case a link to the relevant "manual" might be better -- and two relevant links are already available.) 2. Maybe better to add a tip on: "Using Regular Expressions in Text Searches" https://help.libreoffice.org/7.1/en-US/text/swriter/guide/search_regexp.html (isn't that where a user might search?) And instead of explaining how, just give a short tip that indicates possibilities (which the user then has to RTM). For example: To search for (Nick's type of case) here, then use (relevant syntax). or Use Positive Lookahead, Negative Lookahead, Positive Lookbehind, and Negative Lookbehind to (short explanation of what they are good for). See (link to ICU manual) for relevant operators. 3. And if 1 and 2 are rejected, then I propose this bug be resolved as NAB or WF. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Regex syntax like Look-ahead / Look-behind assertions are detailed in the ICU User Guide as linked in the LibreOffice Help: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/shared/01/0211.html Recently the ICU project relocated resources, now LO help is linked incorrectly. Help points to the old ICU User Guide article here: http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings/regexp Now located here: https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/strings/regexp.html Not clear the project help article needs to be expanded as the ICU documentation is comprehensive. @Olivier? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
