Is it possible for the second bracketed space and tab to match anything? Wouldn't the first one consume all space and tab? Assuming it is possible for the second brackets to match successfully, why would we want to capture this leading space? It looks like both of the following lines would match: ' a' 'ab' but not this 'a' Would it be better written like: "^[ ]*(([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*)" > + "[ ]*\\([^;]*)$", REG_EXTENDED }, <snip> -brandon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
