+[tc8.5b8 32]: Invalid filename specified!

[dimidimi]

Hi all!

After installing 'tc8.5b8 32' and upon executing it I get an error message stating:

Code: Select all

Invalid file name specified!
*.*

TRegExprW(comp): ?+*{Follows Nothing (pos 1)

Has anyone run into this?

Thanks
Dimitrios

You have probably defined a regular expression for a user-defined color, and this regular expression contains an error. Please check in menu Configuration - Options - Colors - Colors by file type.

Yes, it looks like a defined file type is used.

A search is performed for *.* with regex enabled. This is not a valid regular expression and no files will be found.

There is no warning when an invalid search is defined. An error is shown when the search is used. Perhaps it's best to show an error in the OnExit event of the editbox where the user types the regular expression.

Yes, it is a defined type! It is part of a used defined coloring/search scheme I downloaded a few years ago. The offending definitions are the following:

Code: Select all

Chords_SearchFlags=0|000002001020||||||||22220|0000|
Chords_SearchFor\.(crd|gp|gp[2345]|gtp|ptb|tbt|tef)$
Chords-new_SearchFlags=0|000002001020|||3|1||||22220|0000|
Chords-new_SearchFor=\.(crd|gp|gp[2345]|gtp|ptb|tbt|tef)$

Unfortunately I don't know how to fix that, so I excluded the entire part for the [face=courier]ini[/face] file.

Thanks for your help

Edit: I got it! An equal sign is missing in the second line. Problem fixed. Thanks!

OK, I will try to show the name of the filter in which the error is, this should make it easier for the user to find it.

[dimidimi]

That would be great! Thanks for taking that into consideration

I have decided to move the check to some other function, so you will not get this message for existing filters (which could be very annoying). Instead, you will get it when trying to save a new filter.

Test OK using TC 8.50b10 32bit.
