Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: cfengine 3.1.5 pcre question Author: Beto Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,21784,21784#msg-21784
I used the expression "#.*" in the comment field of several readstringarry/readstringlist functions. Prior to 3.1.5 this always worked without problem. But with 3.1.5 several, but not all, of the subject functions returned no result. I changed the "#.*" to "#[^\n]*" (which I noticed in some examples) in these functions and that eliminated the issues. Can anyone explain why "#.*" caused problems in 3.1.5 and why changing it to "#[^\n]*" fixed the problems? I thought a "." represented any character except a new line character and was the same thing as "[^\n]". I'm wondering if I need to change the ".*" I use in to match strings parts in other functions (e.g., classmatch). But they seem to be working Ok.
