$TSTing positional vars

[sidki3003]

Thanks whenever.

I've split this post, because i'd like to explain what's happening here, because you don't get any hints from the "dbug.." view. It's an undocumented Prox quirk:

Empty positional vars temporarily aren't empty but contain the maximum bytes possible, until the respective positional var knows that it is supposed to be empty. That doesn't matter, unless you $TST the respective var.

Test filter:

Code:

[Patterns]
Name = "New HTML filter"
Active = FALSE
Bounds = "<test>*</test>"
Limit = 256
Match = "*111\0222*"
        "&$TST(\0=\1)"
Replace = "\1"

Test code 1 (things go wrong -- \0 has nothing real to grab):

Code:

<test>xxx111222xxx</test>

Test code 2 (thing work as expected -- \0 has a whitespace to grab):

Code:

<test>xxx111 222xxx</test>

As for the Google untangler, if you change "\sonmousedown" to "onmousedown", then \7 can grab a space.
