Description

Hi!
I tried some regular expressions and i checked that some code wasnt working with uniicode. So i created an ISO 8859-15 Document and see its working ...

The Code:

def checkSpelling(spellingAttempt, spellingRegularExpression)
{
if (spellingAttempt ==~ spellingRegularExpression)

{ println("Congratulations, you spelled it correctly.") }

else

{ println("Sorry, try again.") }

}
locationData = "Liverpool, England: 53° 25? 0? N 3° 0? 0?"
myRegularExpression = /([a-zA-Z]), ([a-zA-Z]): ([0-9]). ([0-9]). ([0-9]). ([A-Z]) ([0-9]). ([0-9]). ([0-9])./
checkSpelling(locationData,myRegularExpression)

i will attach the same file as unicode and iso however
the iso file works correct but the uni doesn't
pls fix this issue since it's really important

can someone recreate this? with the 2 attachements it should be recreateable. Or is this more a java issue?

I tried it in the GroovyConsole and both ran - I guess it isn't aware of the encoding.

On the commandline, however, the unicode one fails. It seems that in that case the degrees 'character' is represented as two characters.

The workaround is to accept one or two characters:

deg = '.{1,2}'
myRegularExpression = /([a-zA-Z]+), ([a-zA-Z]+): ([0-9]+)$deg ([0-9]+). ([0-9]+). ([A-Z]) ([0-9]+)$deg ([0-9]+). ([0-9]+)./

I don't think this is a Groovy bug in how it deals with encodings but rather a feature of the Java regexp package.
However, I would need to do more investigation than I have time for right now to be sure.

I am thinking this isn't a Groovy bug - still needs further investigation but downgrading priority a little

I don't believe this is a Groovy issue - anyone see a reason not to close?
