[opensuse-ruby] regexp and unicode

hi, Michael Calmer ran into a bug with regexp in ruby 1.8.[1] Rails sets the $KCODE variable to UTF-8, which changes the meaning of the \w class. To quote answer in the bug: [[[ Ruby 1.8's /\w/u matches [0-9a-zA-Z_] and all non ASCII of Unicode. ]]] In Ruby 1.9 and JRuby this part of the ruby spec changed and behaves as expected. So if you use regexp validations, make sure to keep to use [A-Za-z0-9_] instead of \w. hth darix [1] http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/3047 -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ruby+help@opensuse.org
