Updated RegEx to Match Compilation Errors

[Michael Cesar]

Does anyone know how to get Textpad to properly find the filename and line number from ActiveStates new release of perl 5.6.1 build 626? The example in the help...

Expression = ^.+at \(.+\) line \([0-9]+\)[.,]?

does not work because the new output contains the word 'line' twice. The expression above is apparently greedy and matches "\(.+\) line" to the last occurance of 'line'. In Perl I would use the non-greedy operator, however, Textpad doesn't seem to support this.

Any Ideas?

Here is an example of the kind of lines I get from AS Perl now.

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at D:/Perl/lib/IO/Handle.pm line 353, <> line 4

Thanks

I forgot to mention that the RegEx still has to match lines like the following also:

Global symbol "$s" requires explicit package name at D:\My Documents\Perl\aivp\pi_select_auth.pm line 658.

So far ...

^.+at \(.+\) line \([0-9]+\)[,.]\(.*line [0-9]\)*

seems to work most of the time.
