Hello, All!

Call to the regex_match(chkString,Match,Expression,match_not_dot_newline) causes program go into an infinite loop when chkString="http://localhost/ideas/exchange/June98/test/test.cfm" and Expression="^/(.*)*.cfm"
Both Regex++ and test program are compiled with VC7.0 on WindowsXP. I have tried to play with optimisation settings, but this bug appears even in debug configuration. I understand that syntax of regular expression is incorrect, but library should rise error in this case. I hope that I'm doing something wrong and there is a workaround to this problem.


With best regards, Yaroslav Govorunov,
