Hi,
the following code behaves strangely in ruby 2.0, and different from
1.9:
puts “ä”.match(/[\p{Word}]/).inspect
puts “ä”.match(/[\p{Word}\s]/).inspect
Result on 1.9.3-p194:
#<MatchData “ä”>
#<MatchData “ä”>
Result on 2.0.0-p0:
#<MatchData “ä”>
nil
Any ideas what’s going on there?
I have attached the ruby code as a file, in case there are any problems
with email charset conversion.
Thanks!
Andreas
If a bug had been inserted, it appears it has been removed already:
$ ruby -v
ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-03-25 trunk 39928) [x86_64-linux]
$ ruby test_regex.rb
#<MatchData “ä”>
#<MatchData “ä”>

Hey Andreas,
Lately, there have been some discussions on ruby-core (the mailing list
dedicated to the core implementers of MRI). It’s possible that this bug
is
being adressed at the moment. These are the most recent messages there:

I don’t really know what could be causing this difference.

Thanks! Guess I will use a workaround for now and wait for 2.1.
