Small bug in Help fileMatch

Postby chrisjj » Thu Jul 10, 2025 3:19 pm

rawDate = fileMatch('^Date:\s*.*', 'i');


'\s" is nonsense here, and presumably that should read:

Code: Select all
rawDate = fileMatch('^Date:\\s*.*','i');


though it doesn't cause a fail.

And better:

Code: Select all
rawDate = fileMatch('^Date:.*',    'i');


or indeed (as per RFC):

Code: Select all
rawDate = fileMatch('^Date:.*');

Hi, \s is meant to match all spaces after : and before date starts (just in case there are more than one).

But it doesn't. It matches any s after : and before date.
