Using IIS 5.1, XP, dev studio 2003, ASP
I've discovered an insidious bug with the VBScript Regular Expression
object. I set the pattern to consist of the set of invalid filename
characters plus comma. I set global property to true then do a replace on a
SID. The Replace does nothing. However, if I attach the C++ (dev studio
2003) debugger to the IIS host process (dllhost.exe), every time I call
RegExp.Replace, the stack for one of the process's threads gets scrambled.
It ends up with the value 0x00000001 at the top of the stack! If your
debugger is set to stop on access violations, it always catches one (invalid
read trying to delete). The problem is insidious because, without the
debugger running, you would never know this is happening. ASP returns no
error. Potentially this could wreak havoc on your web application and cause
bizarre failures later on. Has anyone else run into this one? It seems to
happen only with the Replace method.

Here's the asp code. The value for Filename would be a SID (so there should
be nothing to replace).
dim regEx
Set regEx = New RegExp ' Create regular expression.
regEx.Pattern = "[,/\:*?""<>|]"
regEx.Global = true
Filename = regEx.Replace(F ilename, "")

If these are retrieved in any way similar to a GUID() then you might see http://www.aspfaq.com/2358 ... this returns some extra bogus characters that
can cause problems as well.
In any case, I would guess that the problem lies in the method used to
retrieve the SID (or in the SID data itself), as opposed to a problem in
RegEx.

Well... all I can say is that with the code posted as part of my ASP page, I
get the trap in the C++ debugger when attached to dllhost.exe. Without it in
there, everything works ok. I swapped out the use of regExp.Replace with
separate Replace instructions and all is well.

I just verified the SID is OK from the C++ debugger. It gets returned from
one of our COM interface functions. It looks OK. In fact we use in other
places in our ASP app. We also use the regular expression object in many
places in our ASP app. However, in only this only place did we use the
Replace method. Otherwise, it seems to be working ok. (and you wouldn't
know it was doing anything out-of-line unless you had the C++ debugger
attached to dllhost.exe... and even then, perhaps you may not get the same
type of exception, if any, that I get... it's probably random... you would
need to break into the debugger after executing the Replace method and
examine the stack for each thread).

Hi,
I am replaceing a big string using different regular expressions (see
some example at the end of the message). The problem is whenever I
apply a "replace" it makes a new copy of string and I want to avoid
that. My question here is if there is a way to pass either a memory
stream or array of "find", "replace" expressions or any other way to
avoid multiple copies of a string.
Any help will be highly appreciated

In other words, when I apply ^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 to " HEART (CONDUCTION
DEFECT) 37.33/2 HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT) WITH
CATHETER 37.34/2 " the expression is "HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT)". How
