MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Editor plugin : problem with regex and special characters

EbookMakers · 11-14-2019, 06:12 AM

The code is rather long, but I can give some crucial points :
I extract the editor text with

Code:

data=current_container.raw_data(file, decode=True, normalize_to_nfc=True)

Then apply the search on it :

Code:

pattern = regex.compile(unicode(search['find']), flags)
match = pattern.search(data)

I have no error, except if I replace ‘ or \u2018 with \xE2\x80\x98
Tell me if you want more.
