Re: [sc-dev] Crashes in findRegexp or File

Ok I'll have to try to archive the result before it crashes, and then use that to do my link replacement.

Or perhaps I'll outsource this to the shell.

thanks,

findRegExp is partially broken -- something wrong with its

I'm having constant crashes with this code. I've narrowed it down to
either happening after reading the file several times, or  using
findRegexp (even with much simpler finds than here).

I'm trying to write an automatic link fixer, but it fails because of
these crashes.

You may need to do this a few time in a row before it crashes the whol SCApp
