Regular expression in Ignore parts of each line

I have two directories with .html files. At the top of each, is the URL to the CSS. The server name in the URL is different in the two directories, so I put the following regular expression into the "Ignore parts of each line" -> "Parts matching regular expression" text box:

.*localhost.* | .*OMHNTS01.*

When I run the comparison, ExamDiffPro crashes with a Microsoft C++ runtime library error. The text reads:

Runtime Error!!
Program:C:\Program Files\examdiff pro\examdiff.exe

abnormal program termination

Is there another way to compare the directories so that the server names are ignored? Or am I doing something wrong?

I hope you are using the latest version (3.2c). If not, get it at http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_download . If yes, could you send me (privately) a set of 2 zipped folders for which the crash occurs, along with your options exported to file? BTW, I think you meant the following regex:

.*localhost.*|.*OMHNTS01.*

When I use it, I get no errors; everything seems to work fine with 3.2c.

After downloading the lastest version, the compare worked fine.

Thanks!!
