Hi Aspose team,

I know that there were some other incidents for same problem but this is kind of weird.

In my case I am using Regex to make replacement of strings.

If I use

[A-Z][^\\.;]*(Bente)[^\\.;]*

Replacement is done but if I use

[a-z][^\\.;]*(Bente)[^\\.;]*

I am getting error "The match includes one or more special or break characters..."

My text is:

Sample text for testing:

foo@demo.net bar.ba@test.co.uk

Patern is [A-Z][^\\.;]*(Bente)[^\\.;]* or [a-z][^\\.;]*(Bente)[^\\.;]*
Search string is same like Patern and replacement string can be anything.

As regex is with only capital/lower case letter I do not understand how this can be connected with special characters.

Can you please check?

Thanks

Hi Oliver,


Thanks for being patient. It is to update you that the problem occurs because Regex with capitals and lowers match different groups. Lowers select group which contains paragraph break characters and such replacement is currently not supported by Aspose.Words.

Hi,

thanks for feedback.
Does this means that you currently does not support this but will in the future or that you do not have plan to support this at all?

It is kind of weird that this does not work as when I use normal Regex it works so to me it looks like Aspose missing something.

Thanks,
Oliver
