[Gambas-user] PCRE component

[David Paleino]

Hi all,
I've finally run Gambas again on my Debian (it rendered in an unusable
way on my xfce), and I've started working again on some old projects.
Now, my need is to parse the kernel list from kernel.org [1], that is
something like:

The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is:         2.6.21.3
The latest prepatch for the stable Linux kernel tree is:  2.6.22-rc3
The latest 2.4 version of the Linux kernel is:            2.4.34.4
The latest prepatch for the 2.4 Linux kernel tree is:     2.4.35-pre4
The latest 2.2 version of the Linux kernel is:            2.2.26
The latest prepatch for the 2.2 Linux kernel tree is:     2.2.27-rc2
The latest -mm patch to the stable Linux kernels is:      2.6.22-rc2-mm1

Obviously, what I'm trying to have is the kernel version. I've come up
with this regex (I've tried it with kregexpeditor):

/[-. \d\w]*: *(\d.*)/

Now, trying to put it in Gambas:

DIM re AS Regexp
re.Text = "/[-. \d\w]*: *(\d.*)/"

When I run the program, Gambas tells me

"Bad character constant in string at line <xx> in frmMain.class"

I haven't been able what's the problem here. Any help? (if possible,
also with the pattern itself, as I'm not a regexp guru :-) )

Kind regards,
David
