Yet the grammar defines nonascii as anything beyond 177 which is U+00B1 which does not really make sense to me. Thinking about it some more explicitly excluding 127-160 does not really seem needed either to me and maybe they should become part of nonascii (would also make the name somewhat more logical). >> >> Am I missing something? > > I take it you're referring to the line > > nonascii [^\0-\177] > > The \177 there is an OCTAL escape, so that means 127 decimal / 0x7f hex, which is correct for the ASCII range. Argh, octal is never a good idea for anything ever. >_< It always causes far more confusion than can be justified by the benefits of using it. ~TJReceived on Monday, 15 February 2010 17:15:29 GMT
