Hi all (and Kem 
),
I have a scenario where I’m being hammered with Null and space characters from a shell process leading up to the first character of the true output. This could be any number of non-alpha characters and seems to be dependent on the time between output from the source tool.
I test the RegEx pattern with RegExExpress and it works and I get the string with the non-alpha whitespace removed:
\\S*[a-zA-Z0-9]\\x20*[a-zA-Z0-9]But within Xojo, I only get the first character followed by the first space and then the next character (which then cases a OOBE in my parser).
My Xojo code is dead simple:
re.SearchPattern = "\\S*[a-zA-Z0-9]\\x20*[a-zA-Z0-9]"
reMatch = re.Search(jobData(x))
If reMatch <> Nil Then
jobData(x) = reMatch.SubExpressionString(0)
End If
