[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51589] crash on regexp

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #51589 (project octave):

@Dan
you are perfectly right assuming that I'm searching for everything that
matches exponential notation numbers. The reason I am not searching for the
string 'Step' is that it is rather special to this file and not general
purpose. Imagin a similar file where the block headers are prety randomly
formated text and there is no easy way to define a fitting mach on them. (Yes,
that's ugly and I admitt that my example does not do a particularly good job
at exposing this aspect of the problem.) But you guys just gave me the idea of
searching for everything that _does not_ match exponential notation numbers.
This should come closer to the  general aplicability I need and reduce the
number of machtes.

<<Neither Matlab nor Octave is exceptionally good at text processing.>>
I alwasy wondered why thats the case... ;-)

@ all
Thank you for your effort to look into this. You are doing a great job...
