Subject: [regex-coach] An error of type #:|<Dummy Symbol Name>| occured

I'm using Regex Coach Version 0.9.2 on Windows 7 Professional (SP 1).

I installed and ran it OK, until I loaded a Microsoft Office Word document into it to test \x matching.  I closed down Regex Coach with that document loaded.  Now, when I run the program I always get a Message Box with:
"An error of type #:|<Dummy Symbol Name>| occured, arguments : (:SIZE 151983)"

I uninstalled Regex Coach, rebooted, then installed it again, but it still gives this error.  I have RegEx Coach installed on the same version of Windows 7 on another machine and I have no problems - but I have not tried loading a Word doc into it!

>From the doc:
"The contents of these two panes will also remain persistent between two invocations of The Regex Coach. "

My best guess it that the uninstall is not destroying the persistent data, even between reinstalls, but I can't figure out where it is being stored.  Any ideas?

Is it not always the way?  Five minutes after I posted my previous question in desperation I found the registry entry which holds the persistent data.

In case anyone else gets this problem, this is created the first time you exit the product with data in the panes, but is not being removed on an uninstall.  The key is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Edi Weitz\The Regex Coach

I uninstalled the product, removed the key (using regedit), reinstalled, and everything was fine.  I could probably have just removed the 'Panes' sub-key without reinstalling the product.

Clive,

Thanks for the follow-up.  Yes, removing the registry key would have
sufficed.  Should I ever find the time to make a new release, I'll
make sure that a) the key gets uninstalled together with the
application and that b) files which don't exist anymore don't crash
the program.

Thanks again,
Edi.

Subject: [regex-coach] Suggestion: Alternation of Color
Message-ID: <9mygcolyjq94$.dlg@borumat.de>

The first match is yellow.
The second green.
All following matches are green as well.

Suggestion:
It would be easier to distinguish the matches, if the color
alternates.

First yellow.
Second green.
Third yellow.
...

Regards, Andreas

Subject: [regex-coach] View matched linebreaks
Message-ID: <1h9ezs585urui.dlg@borumat.de>

RegEx Coach does not display a symbol (e.g. like the U+00B6) to
represent linebreaks.

I like to use RegEx Coach with multiple line target strings.

Is there any to view matched linebreaks?

Example:
http://borumat.de/+screenshots/hc-2011.05.12-09_30_25.png

Thanks.

It would be great, if other whitespaces like "\t" would be represented
by a symbol as well.

Andreas

Edi, thanks a lot for you helpful tool. :)

No, the "current" one is yellow.  That's explained in the
documentation.  You can "walk" through the matches.

Well, that's firstly a matter of taste.  But as I've said in other
replies already, the chances of a new release are currently very small
anyway unless someone wants to provide funding for this.

Thanks for the suggestion,
Edi.

There is currently no way to do this, sorry.  As for additions and
changes in the future, see my other reply.

Thanks,
Edi.

I know.
I meant the state when you start. Sorry, my fault, that I did not
wrote that precisely.

All the green matches which lie next together cannot be distinguished.
The user has to walk through to be able to do that.
