Hi list, I've got a pretty hairy regexp that hangs and i can't really understand why. It works just fine one my freebsd workstation running 5.6.1, but in linux with 5.005_03 it just dies.
here is the code: $rule = "A. TRAVEL ON BB CODESHARE ABTS BB1000 - BB7999 AND BB9000-BB9999 NOT PERMITTED B. TRAVEL ON AA FIPS AA3000-AA3999, AA6000-AA6999, AA8000-AA8999, AA9300-AA9999 NOT PERMITTED"; print STDERR "start\n"; @temp = $rule =~ /TRAVEL\s*ON\s*((?:[\s.]*(?:..\/)?..\s*(?:CODESHARE\s*)?(?:FIPS|ABTS)\s*(?:SERIES\s*)?(?:(?:..)?\d+|-|=|\s+|AND|,)*)*)\s*IS\s*NOT\s*ALLOWED/isg; print STDERR "end\n"; now this regexp doesn't match at all, as 'IS\s*NOT\s*ALLOWED' isn't in the $rule string. If i remove FIPS| in the regexp it works but it still hangs if i remove ABTS. Here's where it stops : write(2, "start\n", 6start ) = 6 brk(0x80d2000) = 0x80d2000 /Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
