A bug in the Verification process with RegEx

I offten use RegEx testing in the verification process. I found a problem: when a segment content is locked (not segment whole!) QA verification with RegEx analyze text inside a tag, not a text between the tags only. see below - regex found the tag name <term>!! it occurs in sdl studio 2011 and 2015

  • Hi  

    Thank you for reporting this.  I will log this with development in case they are not aware of it already.  It does seem to be a little inconsistent though so it'll be interesting to see what's causing it.  For example here only the first segment is picked up when I check for the word "content" that is actually not inside a tag at all and I would have expected to see both picked up: 

    And here when I try to look at the word "lock" when it's inside an element nothing is found at all:

    And if I put the word "test" in the attribute nothing is found when I look for the word "test":

    And finally if I remove the tags then the word content is picked up correctly in both cases:

    It would be helpful if you could share your file with me, the xml, settings file and the sdlxliff, so I can reproduce the scenario you got.  The only problem here I can find is that the locked content is not handled consistently, but I can't find words in the the tags themselves.

    Regards
