Odd output in Shiny App

[aguynamedryan]

I love this regex tester! Thanks for making and sharing it.

When I was working on a file-extension stripper, I saw some odd output. Check it out here: https://spannbaueradam.shinyapps.io/r_regex_tester/_w_f725e36c/?pattern=%5C%5C.(txt%7Cgz)&test_str=some/dumb/path.txt.gz%0Asome/dumb/path2%0Asome/dumb/path.001.txt.gz

Thanks again!

For copy paste when I get in a place to test:

matching_pattern = '\\.(txt|gz)'
test_str = 'some/dumb/path.txt.gz\nsome/dumb/path2\nsome/dumb/path.001.txt.gz'

---

UPDATE:

A more minimal example to reproduce what seems to be the same buggy behavior:

matching_pattern = 'a(b|c)'
test_str = 'abacab'

Oh and thank you for the kind words! Looking into this and I'll either make progress in this branch or I'll report back here.

EDIT: I also want to be upfront that I personally only have motivation on this project for general upkeep. If this turns out to be something sour in the foundation then it might just stay as a bug.... 🤷‍♂️

@aguynamedryan I think that your example should be functioning now in the live app.

thanks for reporting and let me know if you run into any further issues!
