#28 building 0.10 fails: src/fileshared.h:80:19: error: ‘Glib::MatchInfo’ has not been declared

David Hebbeker — Tue, 14 Jan 2020 16:17:37 -0000

After further research I have noticed that the repository pointed to by the regexxer Web Site already contains a fix for this issue. Also a package with precompiled binary exists for Debian Buster.

Maybe the files / binaries and source code hosted at SourceForge should be removed or marked depreciated in order to reduce the possibility for confusion?

When building version 0.10 the following error appears:

In file included from src/filebuffer.h:24,
                 from src/filebuffer.cc:21:
src/fileshared.h:80:19: error: ‘Glib::MatchInfo’ has not been declared
             Glib::MatchInfo& match_info);
                   ^~~~~~~~~

I additionally installed intltool, pkg-config, gtkmm, libgtkmm-3.0-dev and gtksourceviewmm-3.0.

#26 Today it stopped working - it doesn't find the string

Solution!:
Someone on AskUbuntu - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1066866/regexxer-stopped-working-it-doesnt-find-the-string - pointed out that parenthesis need to be 'escaped', like in this search-string:
"If you can't see the (Facebook) Comments Box here"

Here is a screen shot showing that a simple string, taken from one of the text files doesn't get found in any og them.

Today it stopped working - it doesn't find the string

I used this brilliant program less than 20 hours ago without any problems, but now it doesn't find the text string, although it is taken from one of the files in the left panel. I am using version 0.10-3 installed directly from the Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS repository. I also tried reinstalling it. Didn't help
Please help.

Regexxer overwrites files edited outside the app

Kevin Donnelly — Fri, 12 Aug 2016 15:29:23 -0000

Using 0.9 on Ubuntu 14.04. If you select a set of files in Regexxer, and then edit some of those outside the app, and then go back to the app, use it to make regex changes, and then do File->Save all, Regexxer will overwrite the files with its own versions, which do not contain the out-of-app edits.

This is not, strictly speaking, a bug, but is a major user interface issue at least, since a user could lose substantial edits to a file without even being aware of it. Presumably Regexxer makes a copy of the files at initial import, and then uses these, with any regex changes, as the basis for the Save all files. I would suggest that before saving its cached files, Regexxer should check the adjust times of the files in the filetree, and if they are more recent than the ones in cache, it should refuse to save them, and ask the user to reimport the recently-edited files first.

If that is not possible, at the very least Regexxer should put up a message to the user. Something like: "You are about to save files which were imported earlier into Regexxer. If you have made changes to these files outside Regexxer after that, the Regexxer copies will overwrite the files on your disk, and your changes will be lost. To avoid this, first reimport the edited files into Regexxer, and then apply the regexes again before saving."

#24 Copy-paste within search field inserts text in opened file

Murray Cumming — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:19:22 -0000

This was apparently fixed here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/regexxer/patches/2/
But Ubuntu has an older version of Regexxer (0.9) from before that fix.

Copy-paste within search field inserts text in opened file

AndiDog — Thu, 21 May 2015 08:46:18 -0000

If I copy something in the "Search:" field and then paste it with Ctrl+V, the clipboard gets pasted into the currently displayed file. Also, Ctrl+C does not even work in the search field.

Environment: Ubuntu 15.04
