Not only would it better represent what I want, IT WORKS TOO! :-)))) Thanks!
Now, as to why? 'Cause it appears to have done the job in other areas: // Workspace: (1000) "BogusRepositoryWorkspace" <-> (1000) "BogusRepositoryWorkspace" // Workspace: (1156) "GPDBWorkspace" <-> (1157) "GPDBStream" private static final String WORKSPACE_PATTERN = "\\((\\d+)\\) \"(.*)\" <-> \\((\\d+)\\) \"(.*)\""; /** * @see #WORKSPACE_PATTERN */ private RE workspaceRegExp; // Component: (1001) "BogusComponent" private static final String COMPONENT_PATTERN1 = "\\((\\d+)\\) \"(.*)\""; /** * @see #COMPONENT_PATTERN1 */ private RE componentRegExp1; // Component: (1158) "GPDB" <-> (1157) "GPDBStream" private static final String COMPONENT_PATTERN2 = "\\((\\d+)\\) \"(.*)\" (.*)"; /** * @see #COMPONENT_PATTERN2 */ private RE componentRegExp2; // Baseline: (1128) 27 "BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.40" private static final String BASELINE_PATTERN = "\\((\\d+)\\) (\\d+) \"(.*)\""; /** * @see #BASELINE_PATTERN */ private RE baselineRegExp; But, looking at it anew, it appears that because I'm asking it for alternate string, numbers, place markers (<->) etc, it's better able to work out what I want. Let me see if I can review the RE's that I'm currently using and see what comes up. I do wish that people had left some comments in as to some example output of other scm tools to make working out their patterns a lot lot easier. Mutter. Grumble. Mutter... :-) -Chris On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 3:01 AM, Hervé BOUTEMY <herve.bout...@free.fr> wrote: > (.*) matches everything: why would it stop after "Deb"? > > (\\w+) would IMHO better represent what you're trying to do > > Regards, > > Hervé > > Le dimanche 26 février 2012 22:00:05 Chris Graham a écrit : >> Sorry, all, but this is driving me nuts!
