Jext

Dru--

I found an evil little thing in Jext the other day while I was coding (kudos, incidentally, on a great editor, that I use on a daily basis and recommend to everyone I know that codes on more than one OS), and I'm wondering if it's a feature or a bug. I did a find & replace, replacing "--" with "
--" My computer then locked up for about three minutes, and when it unlocked, the first line that had "--" in it had about a zillion little "
" tags in it. Seems the thing, after replacing that fragment, then searched over it again, found the "--" in the "
--" and replaced it again, and so on. Fortunately, it only did that to the one line, rather than the "Replace All" I told it to do. Seems to me a Find & Replace should pick up its "find" after what it just replaced. Is it supposed to do that? Thanks.

You're from Raleigh in North Carolina?! Montreal Canadians will nuke the Carolina Hurricanes!

I could see how that could be considered either a bug or a "feature". I mean, it did exactly what you told it to do. It just did the replacement recursivly.

You could subscribe to the Jext developer's mailing list at http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jext-devel and post a message about it. Although Romain Guy will probably tell you to fix it yourself and send him the code. :) That's how he got me to add block commenting.

Tell you what, Vince: if the Canadiens (or whatever) can outrun me, then I'll be impressed. The 'Canes are a traffic hazard, not an interesting feature of the Raleigh landscape.

Dru, I appreciate the info.
