| I was wondering how to match the * char
I'm trying to convert this
[*@@#######XXXXXXXXxxxx.........]
to numerical value ... my preblem is that i can't have * matched
A this time i've:
^[ ]*\[([\x2a]*)([\@]*)([\#]*)([X]*)([x]*)([\.]*)]$
which works perfectly but for the *
Can anyone help me? | | Top |

| It DOES work with * though. Perhaps other parts of your expression are problematic?
Try a regexp with JUST \* (match on a single asterisk) then check keep evaluating, repeat on same line, regexp, and change the color of it. Just to see if it is indeed some problem with... well, I dont know, that prevents you from matching. |

^[ ]*\[([\x2a]*)([\@]*)([\#]*)([X]*)([x]*)([\.]*)]$
The * looks to be after the open [ but you have it before.
\[\*
The final ] does not appear to be escaped.
\]
^[ ]\[\*([\x2a]*)([\@]*)([\#]*)([X]*)([x]*)([\.]*)\]$
Maybe that one will work. |

| | You dont need to escape the @, thats probably why its not matching. Actually no, thats not it. Do you have "expand variables" checked? (If so, why?) There shouldnt be anything wrong with matching on @ (unless you do have expand variables checked). |
