Question TestStand RegEx Processing

[Oli_Wachno]

Hi there,

maybe someone can point me to the right direction:

I am using the MatchPattern function to scan retrieve a parts of it

MatchPattern(Parameters.SomeValue "SomePattern", True, Locals.SomeNumbers)

My strings start look like fa_xxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is a 6.8digit number.

I usually use RegEx101.com to test my RegExs. There 

MatchPattern(Parameters.SomeValue "([0-9]{6,8})", True, Locals.SomeNumbers)

returns what I expect.

whereas TestStand returns an empty array for Locals.SomeNumbers

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

There seem to be a KB on the cases it may not find a match,

TestStand Regular Expression Functions Not Finding Match - NI

Match a Sub-string with a Regular Expression in TestStand - NI

Thanks for pointing out these KBs, Santhosh!

Nevertheless, I guess I'll report a bug since MatchPattern definitely misses a match...
