Here are a couple of fine points about Ecmascript regular expressions worth noting.
The '.' atom does not match the four line terminator characters LF, CR, LS, and PS. This is true irrespective of the presence of the multiline flag in the expression.
You indicate that a quantifier should be non-greedy by suffixing the pattern with '?'. For example, '.*?', '.+?', '.??' etc.
These points are true for most other regular expression implementations as well.
If you invoke a Windows script directly from a command prompt, it will be launched using WScript and its exit status (set using WScript.Quit) will be gobbled. If you launch it using CScript, the exit status will be returned properly. Interestingly, if you invoke a script file from within a batch file, CScript is used automatically, despite the default file association to WScript.
You might think that the following BAT script would print out the word right:
set answer=wrong
if "a" == "a" (
set answer=right
echo %answer%
)... but it actually prints out wrong. The reason is that the BAT processor expands the variable answer when it is read, not when it is executed. To work around this problem, you must use an extension, thus:
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set answer=wrong
if "a" == "a" (
set answer=right
echo !answer!
)Note the use of exclamation marks instead of percent signs to delimit the delayed expansion of the variable answer.
