Unexpected Result with --optimize-no-op

[Binary-Bear]

Using Win7 64
ruleprocessorY.exe 1.3
General_Rules.rule Attached

Command used
ruleprocessorY.exe --optimize-no-op --hashcat-input --hashcat-output --optimize-debug Debug.txt -r General_Rules.rule>>General_Rules_optimized.rule

I placed a group of general rules into a file. (General_Rules.rule)

I ran ruleprocessorY.exe with the "optimize-no-op" option.

I also chose to output to a debug file.

When ruleprocessorY.exe started the following was displayed in the command screen (not the debug file).

Unknown rule function [94413]: "0"
Unknown rule function [94414]: "0"
Unknown rule function [233095]: "0"
Unknown rule function [271297]: "0"
Unknown rule function [274805]: "0"
Unknown rule function [325264]: "0"
Unknown rule function [325267]: "0"
Unknown rule function [325268]: "0"

The debug.txt file was empty.

I deleted the original "General_Rules.rule" and I ran ruleprocessorY.exe on the newly created "General_Rules_optimized.rule" expecting there to be no issues found.

However when ruleprocessorY.exe started the following was displayed in the command screen (not the debug file).

Invalid Rule [2879]: "s\x20\    /"
Unknown rule function [4223]: "\"
Unknown rule function [39763]: "\"
Unknown rule function [44280]: "\"

Unknown rule function [90376]: "\"
Invalid Rule [109822]: "*05     s\x20\  /"

Unknown rule function [298487]: "\"
Unknown rule function [312715]: "\"
Unknown rule function [312716]: "\"
Invalid Rule [315266]: "sS@     sO.     s\x20\  /"

The debug.txt file was empty.

The expected output following the second run with ruleprocessorY.exe would be no unknown or invalid rules displayed within the command screen.

It appears that ruleprocessorY.exe might be creating invalid rules during the "optimize-no-op" process.

Could you find out what the original rules are on line 2879, 109822, and 110796 for example? Relating to your original General_Rules.rule file.

I am also curious what 4223 and 39763 are

Thank you for your help.

The zip file attached to my post above is the original copy of the "General_Rules.rule" file.

I have found the line numbers you asked for.

2879 = s\x20/
4223 = s/\x20
39763 = r s/\x20
109822 = *05 oA\
110796 = *13 oB*
