regex in application modeler

zdenek.kabatek — Tue, 17 May 2022 13:22:02 GMT

Hi,

I thought that I understand regular expression but now I am not so sure.

We took over a business object and there is an element using regex in application modeler see picture below (it is upper case S and number 1 and star)

This actually highlights a window with window title "S22" and I am wondering how come?

Can someone shed some light on this and how it is evaluated in application modeler?

Thank for any hint or explanation.

Regards

Zdenek

Hi,

I think it might be because of the regex expression that has been used. If you see the below screenshot then you would see that it is matching the character S and the character '1' is more like an optional check which has been put up.:

Can you try changing the regular expression to 'S1+' instead and see what you get, it should ideally work I think as you can see below:

So I am thinking that since there is a partial match that is reason why application modeller as well is acting up in that way.
