Hungry hungry regex matches :) (Typewriter.Play ArgumentOutOfRangeException)
Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2023 4:19 pm
Hey Tony -
Was debugging an issue with our game, and noticed we were getting an "ArgumentOutOfRangeException" - basically, we had a string that was coming in 30-40 chars less than it should, when it came time for the typewriter to play.
Basically, a string that started the method like this:
was finishing like this:
Basically, it was starting at the <sprite> tag and removing everything until the close of the <color> tag.
Traced it further, and found the Tools.StripTextMeshProTags was chopping off the extra text, and I traced it down to the sprite regex filter:
By changing this:
to the less hungry/more lazy:
it seemed to remove the error with no problems otherwise.
Don't know if that'll throw other problems later, but I figure you get enough messages with "I have a problem!" that the occasional "I have a solution!" is not out of line.
Thanks for all the work you do, you're awesome!
