I thought I knew the answer to this, but am now not so sure. I thought it should match a NUL followed by a digit 8. That is what it does now, although it raises the false error message "Illegal octal digit '8' ignored". This is false because it isn't ignored. I thought I would just silence the message; but it occurs to me that it would be very unlikely for someone to want to match a NUL followed by anything else; or is that my C-centric thinking? /\0A/ matches NUL followed by A with no message. Anyway I'd see if someone else had any opinions on this.Thread Next
