Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: replace doesn't support optional groups
Initial Comment: textlib.py (method replaceExcept) doesn't support optional capturing groups in regex.
I tried to run replace.py with the following regex: "RISHMI(T |IM)?" => "RISHMI\1" when running it on a page containing the following text "SOMETHING RISHMI SOMETHING" it crashes with the following error: textlib.py, line 178, in replaceExcept match.group(groupID) + \ TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found
line 178 contains the statement: replacement = replacement[:groupMatch.start()] + \ match.group(groupID) + \ replacement[groupMatch.end():]
textlib.py should check for match.group(groupID) ==None and if so, add here empty string instead of match.group(groupID)
