[pmwiki-users] TextExtract (Search recipe) update

[ABClf]

Hi Hans,
My purpose here is to test if one can use TextExtract in place of
conventional Include with something like
(:pagelist .* regex=1 fmt=extract page=*.*#section#sectionend :)

On some pages I have an anchored todo section enclosed like this :

[[#afaire]
*one
*two
[[#finafaire]]

Then, I would like to use TextExtract new capabilities to extract all text
enclosed between the anchors [[#afaire]] & [[#finafaire]].
Here there are my tests and my trouble :

(:pagelist vérifier fmt=extract page=Argot.*#afaire#finafaire name=-Afaire
count=10:)
result : I got the lines where there is the word /vérifier/ in pages from
goup Argot, source limited to the section, nice.
But as I need everything is enclosed between anchors, I will use regex
option and /.*/ as searched pattern. I wish I'm right.

(:pagelist .* regex=1 fmt=extract page=Argot.*#afaire#finafaire name=-Afaire
count=10:)
Here is the trouble (see next test for comparing), result : Found no
matches!

(:pagelist .* regex=1 fmt=extract page=Argot.* name=-Afaire count=10:)
Works : give me all text from 10 pages.

So : if I use regex=1 and limited search in anchored sections, there is a
problem that disappear if I don't use anchored sections.

Test can be seen there :

Thank you for your interest,
Gilles.
