Regex < > Not Working

[d.healey]

@Casmat Well Windows does have a tendency to behave weirdly with back and forward slashes, so it could be OS specific. I'll fire up my Windows VM and test.

[d.healey]

Works for me on Windows.

Here's the snippet just for reference

@d-healey have to test, but I think it may be an issue I had when building, I updated by cleaning solution in vs and using git pull to update (also deleted all files and tried git reset —hard).. but when I opened the new hise after building, the first welcome popup still appeared and there were still recent projects popping up even if it was a clean install.. what is the proper way to update hise

[d.healey]

@Casmat

recent projects popping up even if it was a clean install

Well you don't really install HISE, you just built the binary and run it. The recent projects list will be saved in HISE's app data folder.

Git pull is the correct way to update. If you're running into issues I suggest you delete your HISE folder and rebuild from scratch.

[Casmat]

@d-healey Ok just found something extremely weird which is the problem causer:

Basically my s variable in use would be preset files open with the loadAsString() function. For some reason, theres a "hidden" character (even though I couldn't find it with this tool). Any ideas?

Here's a snippet:

Thanks!

[d.healey]

@Casmat It's the Windows line ending. \r\n

[Casmat]

@d-healey haha, thats nice! Does it matter if that \r is included in macos/linux versions?

[d.healey]

@Casmat Doesn't matter on Linux (that's what I'm using now), probably doesn't on Mac either, it's usually Windows that is the odd one out. But give it a good test before releasing it into the wild.

[Casmat]

@d-healey Thanks again David!!

I could use an extra set of eyes on this function. I'm using regex to validate serial numbers, but I just can't get it to work.

var matches;	
const serialText = "PEE-CLU51-I368X-896M2-JT6Q5-POOP";

//validate serial number
inline function validateSerialNumber(serialNumber)
{


    // Define patern
    local serialPattern = "^[A-Z]{3}-[0-9A-F]{5}-[0-9A-F]{5}-[0-9A-F]{5}-[0-9A-F]{5}-[A-Z]+$";

    //find matches
    matches = Engine.getRegexMatches(serialNumber, serialPattern);

    // If there is a match
	if (matches.length == 1 && matches[0] == serialNumber)
    {
		Console.print("Valid");
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        Console.print("Not Valid");
        return false;
    }
}

validateSerialNumber(serialText);

This returns false even though the serial number matches the regex pattern

@Dan-Korneff I wouldnt bother with this. It's too easy to make a keygen for it.

[Casmat]

RSA Keys!

[Lindon]

@Dan-Korneff yep - head for those RSA key pair hills right now...

[Dan Korneff]

I was using it just to reduce traffic to my license server. No need to hammer my phpworkers with nonsense

@Dan-Korneff said in Regex < > Not Working:

How do you know it matches? Do I smell ChatGPT?

I always use regex101 for testing - https://regex101.com/

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey I asked my best friend, chatGPT, and she agrees it matches :cat_face_with_tears_of_joy:

[d.healey]

@Dan-Korneff Knew it

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey omg.... [0-9A-F] is limiting the character to A-F. Obviously I want A-Z.
