topic Hi Denis, sorry for the late… in Product Forum https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/REGEX-action-crashes-BP-application/m-p/85749#M36702 Hi Denis, sorry for the late reply. I have found out that .NET Framework 4.5 started supporting TIMEOUT property. I managed to tweak the code stage and get it done. Anyway, thank your reply. Michal K.

This happens very rarely and I know why - the reason is that the regex pattern is not 100% efficient (it is pretty complex) and for some target texts it leads to 'catastrophic backtracking' (tested in regex testers; in short: there are too many combinations). What I want to ask is: Is it possible to set some kind of timeout for the action/object to get exception instead of stopping BP? Or is there any other way to overcome this? Thanks a lot.
