ED Pro 3.1: Question about Regular Expression in CommandLine

Hello!

I'm using ED Pro 3.1.

I would like to call EDP with a regular expression to ignore lines as a commandline option.

The specific option looks like this : /j:/\* geändert.*

EDP doesn't accepts this RE (maybe because of the blank in front of the 'g'). When I change the blank into a '.' (period), EDP functions as expected.

Is there maybe another way to include a blank in a RE on the commandline?
Or is this some kind of bug in EDP?
Or is this kind of RE simply impossible to use on the commandline?

Thx in advance

Dirk

Try surrounding your regex with double quotes: /j:"/\* geändert.*"
