Yes it is. I will update the chapter on Regex. Thank you Camillo Jannik 2013/7/5 Camillo Bruni <camillobruni@gmail.com>
I think that is highly implementation dependent. I guess in this case the Regex matches multilines?

Yes, now in the chapter on Regex, it is written that '.' matches only a single character except cr.
So, the command "String cr matchesRegex: '.'" should return false in this case. But since at least Pharo1.3 (I don't try previous version), it returns true.

Yes this is ok, '.' matches only a single character. The alternatives you might be looking for are #prefixMatchesRegex: or '.*'

Hi guys,
Just a simple question about regex:
'a' matchesRegex: '.' --> true 'aa' matchesRegex: '.' --> false
As '.' represents any character, the two previous lines are ok. Now, if I test with a cr, it returns true:
String cr matchesRegex: '.' --> true.
Is it the expected behavior ?
Cheers, Jannik
