Can anyone tell me why the boundary text flags DIG and ALNUM are not available for the web_reg_save_param_ex() function?

 

[SP Manjunath]

for this we had boundaries ..Regex we don;t have boundaries...please correct me if anything wrong

 

[Scott Moore]

What does this have to do with regex?

 

[Mohamed Ibrahim]

It only supports IC and BIN text flags.. The support to that is discontinued to fuller support in regexp.

 

[Scott Moore]

OK, great idea to fully support regexp. Wonderful. Let's have a cup of coffee and celebrate. So then don't deprecate the existing function that I want to use because I don't need regular expression capabilities. Currently they have not removed web_reg_save_param - but I know you people too well at HP. I know you are thinking about it. I know you are plotting it right now in a back boardroom somewhere in Palo Alto. You are waiting in the dark for the perfect time to delete web_reg_save_param forever. And when you do, I will come for you....

For the record, we have never actually removed anything. Deprecated, sure. But the version 1.1 code is still in there, somewhere. Waiting... That said, the replacement of web_reg_save_param with the current variants were mainly due to memory handling, thread safety, etc...

 

[Ganesh Joe]

Well said !! Web_reg_save_param is the power of attributes

 

[Ganesh Joe]

But then, y the earlier version attributes are missing....moreover, Wats d alternate fix for d same ?

 

[Shane Evans]

Regex

 

[Ganesh Joe]

Can we use flags in regex?

 

[Shane Evans]

Regex is all flags!

 

[Ganesh Joe]

I mean d ALNUM, DIG....not d regular expression metaphor

 

[Shane Evans]

That would be redundant.

 

[Scott Moore]

I'll tell that to the storage folks at HP....

Note : web_reg_save_param can be used in java over http as web.reg_save_param but web_reg_save_param_ex() cant be used . Need to know why it is not implemented to support in java protocols .
