Values and RegEx placement   12 February 2014, 05:49

Hi Andrew, here are some screenshots that show how the regex formula some how change place without notice, I write down the expression on one column a later it appear in another one, also somehow the columns values are out of place.

This definitely looks wrong bug Any idea how this can be reproduced?

There may be a sequence of actions, may be turning columns on and off, reordering them, that led to this inconsistent state.

I will try to recreate this situation, but if you could figure out how you got it like this, that would help a lot smile

I've played around with it and I was able to reproduce this issue, although it's rather a feature than a bug.

Here's what happens: the software remembers a text colour, background colour and a regex based on the column index in a set.

For instance, if you set up a regex to apply to the Antivirus Definition Date column, the software remembers it as it was applied to column #1 in the registry set of of columns. Later on, you add another registry column that precedes Antivirus Definition Date, that new column becomes column #1 and Antivirus Definition Date becomes column #2. This results in the regex applying to the new (and not quite correct) column.

I am not yet sure how to correctly handle this situation. In the meantime, I would probably recommend to reorder the active registry scans, so that the regex applies to the correct column.

Hi, Andrew referring to the screenshot, and for my understanding, you're saying that the rows have to be in the same order as when the regex was first created? If so, I suppose, is better to reassign the regex to know the order?

The checked rows have to be in the same order as when the regex was first created. It may be easier to reassign the regex to a different column though.
