[cl-ppcre-devel] Matching problem while using \s (?)

[Daniel Caune]

Hi,

I'm facing a strange result while trying to scan a string:

CL-USER> (defconstant +iso-8601-regex+
"([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)[\sT]*([0-9]+):([0-9]+):([0-9]+)[+-]([0-9]+)"
)
+ISO-8601-REGEX+

CL-USER> (cl-ppcre:scan-to-strings +iso-8601-regex+ "2006-04-13
00:00:00+00")
NIL

CL-USER> (cl-ppcre:scan-to-strings +iso-8601-regex+
"2006-04-13T00:00:00+00")
"2006-04-13T00:00:00+00"
#("2006" "04" "13" "00" "00" "00" "00")


For some reasons, \s seems not to match a whitespace character, unless
the space within "2006-04-13 00:00:00+00" is not the space cl-ppcre
expects (encoding on Linux?! Hmm... a space is more likely to be encoded
with 0x20, isn't it?!).

I tried to match both "2006-04-13 00:00:00+00" and
"2006-04-13T00:00:00+00" with the Regex Coach (on Windows), and it works
perfectly with that same regex!

Any idea?  What can I check?

Regards,
