Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: ACarter (a1carter) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Using regex "(.*)" with replace.py Initial Comment: When using regex on replace.py, and using this replacement: "(.*)" "Something here", nothing happens. It gives "Getting 60 pages from <wiki>...", and goes no further, just stays there. When using verbose, it prints "Requesting API query from <wiki>.", and then goes no further, just like before I have tested a lot of small differences, and the error only occurs when the text to find is exactly "(.*)". If you use, for example "{{(.*)", it works fine. The full arguments were: 'replace.py -regex "(.*)" "Something" -cat:"Category"' I'm or r9811, 2011/12/17 (15 o'clock if that makes a difference), Windows, Python 2.7.2 Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: ACarter (a1carter) Date: 2012-01-12 09:19 Message: I've reckon out this is probably because of the immense processing power it would take replacing everything in a page. It's probably solveable a different way anyway ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603138&aid=347247…
