Regex expression in find/replace fails

[molecool]

I have put together an example regex which I need for parsing replacing a ton of print statements in my code:

https://regexr.com/3qj1q

I have tried to paste that into the find/replace window but I get 'unexpected end in regular expression quoted string'. I have tried the regex with three online parsers and it works fine. The same works here as well:

http://regexstorm.net/tester (copy paste the input and pattern from here)

So what am I doing wrong? Can someone give me an example of how I would accomplish this? I have a ton of these types of statements and don't feel like doing this manually.

Thanks,

Michael

Hello molecool,

Thank you for your note.

These online regex tools are going to be out of the scope of what our scripting desk supports, but if you could provide a sample NinjaScript script along with the strings you’d like to replace, I can try to be of assistance.

I look forward to your reply.

Thanks Alan, well the sample is actually in the link I provided, but let me post it here:

Sample script:

Print("\n****** " + Times[1][0] + ": " + instrumentName + " Canceling stop/target and exiting short position...", PrintLevel.DEV);

Matching Expression:

(if \(PrintLevel <= PrintLevel.DEV\) )(.*)"

Replacement Expression:

$2", PrintLevel.DEV

Desired outcome:

Print("\n****** " + Times[1][0] + ": " + instrumentName + " Canceling stop/target and exiting short position...", PrintLevel.DEV);

It works fine in any online regex engine I've tried. But I'm having issues making it work in the find/replace panel of the Ninja8 editor.

Quick update: Ninja support tells me that this is too tough a nut to crack in the NT8 editor BUT it works in VisualStudio. Which I can happily confirm :-)

Hello molecool,

Were you also working with someone else on this issue that gave you that answer?

The matching expression is missing from the sample script, and the Sample Script matches the Desired Outcome, so if you could provide more detail that would be helpful. Are you suggesting a bug?

I look forward to your reply.

Hello Molecool,

The issue with the editor has to do with ActiPro.

Even though a double-quote is not a standard regex character like [ ? or +, it has to be escaped with ActiPro.

If you change the end to \", you can capture the quote.
