Hi, thanks for your answer and time, and the work on pcre of course!
I had it working with pcretest too, if the regex is:
/^\*\*\*\*\s*Starting\s*FICS\s*session\s*as\s*([^*]+)\*\*\*\*$/m
Although, if I give this string to pcre_compile, the C compiler will warn me
about invalid escape sequences: \* and \s.
And the execution of the regex will fail with return code -2. Here's the input:
http://pastebin.ca/812292
I don't know what the first strange character is, maybe some non printable
thing sent by the server I'm connecting to and whose output I need to
parse.
Notice that when I put that thing to a file, and add the regex as first line,
and then give that file to pcretest, I get:
pcretest foo

more with this further information.
