Potential Issue with RegEx Searches

When attempting to search using Regular Expressions and built-in .NET character classes, I'm getting some errors back. For example, \p{Lu} works just fine when searching for uppercase letters, however \p{IsBasicLatin} is returning an error. Both should work with .NET by default as described here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/20bw873z%28v=vs.80%29.aspx).

Here's the exception I'm getting:

System.ArgumentException: Invalid Unicode category name.
Parameter name: categoryName
at ActiproSoftware.Text.RegularExpressions.CharClass.#mad(String #CCf)
at ActiproSoftware.Text.RegularExpressions.CharClass.AddCategory(String categoryName, Boolean negate)

at #2Yc.#fZc.FindNext(ITextSnapshot #I7b, ISearchOptions #qgb, Int32 #Oqc, Boolean #fCf, TextRange #eCf)
at #Q2b.#JZc.FindNext(ISearchOptions #qgb, Int32 #Oqc, Boolean #fCf, TextRange #eCf)
at #Q2b.#JZc.FindNext(ISearchOptions #qgb, Int32 #Oqc, Boolean #fCf)
at fire.MainWindow.<>c__DisplayClass3b.<AdvancedSearch_ProcessAdvancedSearch>b__38(Object a, DoWorkEventArgs b)

Here's basically what I'm doing:

EditorSearchOptions eso = new EditorSearchOptions();
eso.FindText = "\p{IsBasicLatin}";
eso.MatchCase = false;
eso.PatternProvider = SearchPatternProviders.RegularExpression;
eso.SearchUp = false;

snapshot.FindNext(eso, offset, true);

Thanks

Hello,

Our regex engine is a custom engine and is not the .NET one, although the syntax is pretty much a subset of the .NET one.  Our \p{} just supports Unicode general categories.  What you are describing is a Unicode named group.  We don't currently have support for those.

You could always search on a character class with the appropriate character ranges for your named group instead.

Okay, I'll write something special in to substitute for character classes instead. Thanks.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.2) was released 1 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
