[regex-coach] Possible regex coach bug in "Tree"
by Gordon Fitz-Simons 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Hi I noticed a possible bug after completing the excellent "Tutorial". =========== Background: =========== I am running Windows XP Professional, SP 2 and am current on all "Windows Update" fixes. My machine is an HP Pavilion: CPU: AMD Turon 64 ML-37 Mem: 1 Gigabyte I am using "The Regex Coach" version 0.9.1. which I just downloaded and installed. I have never previously installed any versions of "The Regex Coach" The version of msvcr80.dll installed on my machine is 8.0.50727.42. =========== Problem: =========== My problem can be replicated as follows: 1. Enter (x*)b|a(y+)c in the "Regular expression" text box. 2. Enter xaacy in the "Target string" text box. 3. "Click" on the "Tree" Tab The "Parse tree" is shown correctly. 4. In the "Regular expression" text box a. Highlight "|a(y+)c" with the mouse b. Press the delete key - leaving only "(x*)b" The "Parse tree" now shows (incorrectly?) a combination of the regex entered in 1 above AND the edited regex entered in 4 above! Is this a problem/bug? Thanks in advance! Gordon Fitz-Simons

I received an email from the list today that appears to be bogus. It has an attached file called file.zip (which I have not opened). AVG detected the Dropper.Generic_c.GH trojan horse in the file. The subject of the message is "[regex-coach] Mail System Error - Returned Mail" The body of the message is: > Dear user of common-lisp.net, > > We have received reports that your account has been used to send a large amount of unsolicited e-mail during this week. > Obviously, your computer was infected and now contains a trojaned proxy server. > > Please follow the instruction in order to keep your computer safe. > > Virtually yours, > The common-lisp.net team. Here is a partial header with some info obscured by "*****": Return-Path: <regex-coach-bounces(a)common-lisp.net> Received: from common-lisp.net [80.68.86.115] by ***** with SMTP; Fri, 28 Sep 2007 09:50:12 -0700 Received: by common-lisp.net (Postfix, from userid 65534) id 705C27E04A; Fri, 28 Sep 2007 12:49:36 -0400 (EDT) Received: from common-lisp.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by common-lisp.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2C5175311A for <*****>; Fri, 28 Sep 2007 12:49:26 -0400 (EDT) Received: by common-lisp.net (Postfix, from userid 65534) id D868050044; Fri, 28 Sep 2007 12:49:23 -0400 (EDT) Received: from common-lisp.net (unknown [189.177.43.107]) by common-lisp.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 25ABC4E03C for <regex-coach(a)common-lisp.net>; Fri, 28 Sep 2007 12:49:21 -0400 (EDT) X-Original-To: regex-coach(a)common-lisp.net Delivered-To: regex-coach(a)common-lisp.net From: "Automatic Email Delivery Software" <noreply(a)common-lisp.net> To: regex-coach(a)common-lisp.net Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 11:47:05 +0200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0008_07436ADC.6EB5240A" Message-Id: <20070928164921.25ABC4E03C(a)common-lisp.net> Subject: SPAM-LOW: [regex-coach] Mail System Error - Returned Mail The header appears to be very well spoofed or it's actually coming from the expected server. It looks a lot like one from a known-good message. Dennis
