Non-european names skipping while RegEx

Post by 1nd1g0 »

Some of non-european chars names are skipped silently during search with RegEx enabled, for example directories with name Алкор (D0 90 D0 BB D0 BA D0 Be D1 80) (default system code page = cp1251 - cyrillic) :!:

Found the cause of the problem: any name, starting with А (cp1251 required to view this cyrillyc capital "A" , UTF-8: D0 90 ) will be skipped. Non-capital cyrillic "a" (at cp1251: а , UTF-8: D0 B0) can be placed at the beginning of the names without any problem. Some trouble is hidden in the capital\non-capital chars' filtering table or associative routine.

With respect, 1nd1g0.

I am aware of the problem.

regex is currently limited to the ascii charactor set only.

I have added support unicode for regex searches to my "Things to do" list.

Thanks for the bug report.
