Error - EasyPattern verticalTab etc - fixed in 7.0.8

We've found an error with the handling of the ASCII 11 vertical tab character, stemming from our PCRE library. It matches the letter 'v' instead of ASCII 11.

A workaround is to use

Code: Select all

  \x0b instead of \v in perl patterns,
and to avoid use of EasyPattern keywords

Code: Select all

verticaltab, verticalwhitespace, vspace, worddelimiter, wordchar, columndelimiter, columnchar, linedelimiter, linechar, whitespace, word, line, column
The EasyPatterns aspect will be fixed in v7.0.8. The perl patterns will be fixed in a version to be announced.

[Note] The perl patterns will NOT be fixed - according to the documentation they do NOT support \v anyway.
