Re: Stack Overflow Problmen - reformat regular expression

Hello again,

I am terribly sorry but I didn't check the result of the new regular 
expression well enough. I was so happy that it solved the Stack Overflow 
Error that I just believed it would be fine. :-(

But now I saw that from the ending of the input String "...-}", it 
leaves the "-" which should not be included in the result.

There is always something before the "-}" so it is ok to use + and not 
*. But also with the old expression, using + instead of *, 
"{(\\d+):(([^}](?!-}))+)", I get the StackOverflowError if the input is 
long.


Thanks again for any help or suggestions!
Ulla
