Regexp not matching. about grunt-text-replace HOT 5 OPEN

Hi Karim, thanks for raising this. Nothing's changed about the plugin for a good while, so not sure what might be going wrong. FYI I'm pretty stacked at the moment, so can't look at this immediately, but will try when I can. If you get any further with investigations let me know.

Thanks again,

Jonathan

Thank you Jonathan, currently looking into it - and not finding anything obvious. Will let you know if I get to the bottom of this.

Interestingly enough - this looks like a windows issue. The same script works on OSX - with same version of Node & Grunt ...

I had the same issue and it turned out to be that my RegExp was trying to match newlines in a way that worked in OS X but didn't in Windows.

I'm just playing around with this now, and it seems the plugin isn't matching spaces properly. I'm trying to read a json file, manifest.json, using a function call and a grunt.log to see what's going on (it would be great if this plugin outputted what was changed!), and when I try and match \"version\" it works fine, but when I try and match \"version\" with a space it does nothing.
