RexCompile Buffer Length Exceeds

Henry Monro

Error* rexCompile: pattern for regular expression exceeds buffer length.
Is there any way how i can increase the length/size of the rexcompile buffer?

  • Hi Henry,

    I don't think so - 512 characters is as far as I know the limit. Just out of curiosity - what pattern is it that exceeds 512 characters?
    You might also try the pcre version of rexCompile - pcreCompile(). Maybe it doesn't have that limitation.

    I just did some experiments and pcreCompile allows a pattern which is a maximum of 32764 (slightly less than 2^31) characters long. rexCompile is ancient and very limited, so I'd encourage you to use the pcre functions as Max suggested.
