The backslash is added automatically while we are using Regular express match to find the element since PA version 2.7
The backslash"\" was not added ago-on PA version 2.6.
My flow is broken due to this symbol if I have used Regular expression match before.
Could you please help to restore it to the old version?
That worked. Thanks for your assistance.
Try %"%"%, that is also a % sign escape in PAD, might work.
I've identified the same issue when trying to use the percent symbol (%) as part of the regex formula (e.g., (?<=Trans Cost Adj .*%\$$?)\d{1,2}\.\d{2,2}). It appears fine when opening the datatable where being used as a reference formula however, when executing PAD and looking at the RegEx datatable with the program paused, everywhere a single backslash was used as an escape character there appears two backslashes, including two in front of the % symbol (e.g., (?<=Trans Cost Adj .*\\%\\$$?)\\d{1,2}\\.\\d{2,2}). I tried to use %% and \% with no luck.
Naturally, this causes the search pattern to be altered such that no results are returned. This is the first time I have tried to use the % symbol in a RegEx search in PAD so not sure if it was a previous problem on an earlier version. I am currently running version 2.45.393.24179.
Yes, it works. However, there are too many elements using Regular selector in my PAD and I hope Microsoft fix this issue ASAP.
Thanks!
interesting bug, for now as a work-around, select "Text-editor" in the top right and put in the regex manually, shouldn't add any extra slashes there.
It is happening across all the regular selector including the new and old selectors.
It is an issue since PA version 2.7 and the issue still exists on latest version 2.8
Is this happening across your regex selectors or just this one?
