Summary: VBScript Regular Expression parser: cannot access results Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-ole AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: ed-winebug@leafe.com
I'm using the 20031016 release of Wine on RH8. I have some Visual FoxPro code that needs to parse regular expressions. The only way to do that is to instantiate a VBScript.RegExp object. The VBScript classes are part of the Windows Script Host, so I downloaded the Windows Script Host v5.6 from http://tinyurl.com/b81y, and installed it into Wine without any problems.
The VBScript.RegExp has a pretty clunky interface; it requires several layers of sub-object to get the results. Here's a sample of the code you need to get a regular expression match. In it, I'm trying to extract the digits in the middle of a serial number:
loRegEx = CREATEOBJECT("VBScript.RegExp") loRegEx.Pattern = "[a-z]+([0-9]+)[a-z]+" loExtract = loRegEx.Execute("The serial number is zx8392ks") loResult = loExtract.Item(0) * This next line throws an error lcDigits = loResult.SubMatches(0) RETURN lcDigits
If you run that code in Visual FoxPro under Wine, it proceeds along fine until the line indicated. Trying to access the SubMatches child object of the result item always results in an error message that reads:
OLE error code 0x80004005: Unknown COM status code
This isn't very informative to me, but I'm hoping that someone here will know how to fix this. Without being able to access the SubMatches object, using Regular Expressions in VFP is impossible. I've tried all sorts of expressions and patterns, and they all work well running VFP in Windows, but throw an error when running under Wine.
In my wine config file, I have the following settings:
; Visual FoxPro 8: [AppDefaults\vfp8.EXE\Version] "Windows" = "win2k"
[AppDefaults\vfp8.EXE\DllOverrides] "oleaut32" = "native, builtin" "odbc32" = "native"
