+[tc8.5b7 32&64]: Find Files - invalid regexes glitch

Post by *fleggy »

Hello,

TC does not report invalid regexes in Find Files (and Lister). Moreover the Find Files is extremely slow in this case. Try this:

- ALT+F7
- clear Search for if not empty
- uncheck Search archives
- check Find text and enter some invalid regex, eg [
- check RegEx
- click Start search

It seems that any input accepting regexes does not validate them.

Thanks, Tomas

Same applies when doing a regex search for file names, see here. (also same for searching with regex in content plugin fields)

Probably as slow as searching for "thisstringprobablyisntfound".

I will move this bug report to "fixed bugs" if there are no objections.
