Regular expression: Can't open application settings anymore

PDFCreator PDFCreator English
1

Sorry for the double post, but as I did not get any answer in the German forum, I will try my luck again here.

I have installed PDFCreator 2.3.2 Bulid 6 and try to replace the title with the help of a regular expression. For testing I used the example from the help:

Search text: .*.zip(.+)
Replace with: $1

As soon as I save, the application settings get closed and I can’t open them anymore. In the log file I can see the following error:

2016-08-01 07:59:12.9413 [Error] pdfforge.PDFCreator.Threading.ThreadManager.b__240: System.ArgumentException: parsing “.*.zip(.+)” - Too many )'s._

Please help, what am I doing wrong?

Greetings,

Hi,

I will need to check with out developers where/if there is a mistake in the RegEx. The settings get stored in the registry, HKCU\Software\pdfforge\PDFCreator\Settings\Application settings, you can remove the problematic RegEx from there.
This will probably also get fixed with the next update.
Sorry for the trouble.

Best regards,

Robin
