Reproducible Crash with RegEx Options

[Guest_Brennan Young_*]

I just discovered that you can crash savitar very easily by making a trigger which traps the regex pattern

foo)|bar

... then save the world file, quit savitar, double-click the world file, then choose

window->show events window

Savitar crashes.

Obviously the regex pattern is poorly formed (although the docs on exactly which flavor of regex savitar understands are lacking) - but screwy user input is no excuse for a crash.

Savitar should handle screwy regex patterns more gracefully than this.

In fact, it would be nice to have a little regex editor where you could paste some sample text to test matching.

It's not Jay's fault that you don't know how to write regexes.
