i noticed this afternoon that pick doesn't honor ranges in
character classes. it treats the class "[a-z]" as three
characters ('a', 'z', and '-') instead of 26. so i implemented it.
as i was coming to the end of the work, i suddenly had a nasty
feeling of deja vu. now it might be because i've implemented
ranges for similar regex code before, or it might be because this
has been done or talked about on the list before.
is there already a patch out there for character classes ranges
in pick regexps? or is there a reason they shouldn't be implemented?
There's a patch here:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=4011
I've been meaning to add this fix, but I've been terribly busy lately. I
see no reason to not support this behavior.
well, this certainly explains my sense of deja vu. apparently
i wrote that patch. and then i rewrote it this afternoon. doh!
i'm such a dolt. :-)
how do i get at the patch from that page? i'm sure it's better than
what i did today. :-)
