Hi Mouser,

on two different computers, using a portable installation on brand new ssd drives, we sometimes have a blank result list for the following regex alias :
^(https?://)?(([0-9a-z_!~*'().&=+$%-]+: )?[0-9a-z_!~*'().&=+$%-]+@)?(([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}|localhost|([0-9a-z_!~*'()-]+\.)*([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]{0,61})?[0-9a-z]\.[a-z]{2,6})(:[0-9]{1,4})?((/?)|(/[0-9a-z_!~*'().;?:@&=+$,%#-]+)+/?)$

result is : f | #filecontents C:\path_to\www.txt

it's like FARR stops working for 3-10 seconds (we can see a : does not respond in the title bar...) then everything works again fine...

it's hard to understand what happens... the status bar indicates the number of results which is correct (30 in that case...) the size of the results list seems to be calculated correctly (we use the auto-expand feature) but it is blank...

is it a problem with the regex or with filecontents ?

it seems we did not have the problem before the new installation... do you have any clue ?

i changed the write access so that the FARR directory is writable by current user
and it seems to work perfectly now  :D

i switched from launchy to FARR a few years ago, and i can say it was the single best thing i've done on a computer...
get to know FARR and i promiss you'll never go back
you can do so much (i'm not talking about plugins i'm talking about core features ... filecontent, regex, dosearch, copyclip, variables, ...)
with some autohotkey scripts, you don't even know what OS you're running  :P

keep up the good work Mouser

one happy FARR user  :-*
