[bug report] infinite loop ? with alias
« on: May 06, 2008, 09:33 AM »
say you have this alias :

g

^g ((?:[^-]|-(?!-))*)(?:\s*--\s*(.*))?()

$$c | http://www.google.com/search?q=$$c&btnG=Search /ICON=icons\google.ico

if the clipboard contains the string $$c then FARR stops responding, you have to kill it...
i guess it goes into an infinite loop g g g g g g ... $$c

i forgot about this bug, and this morning i copied and pasted an expression with $$c in my post regarding the showhtml command... a few minutes after i google something... and FARR stopped responding...
i took me quite some time before remembering the bug...
