[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (XERCESJ-1388) RegEx matching: when
computing backreferences, "\dd" must match group "dd" if group exists
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1388?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12737493#action_12737493 ]

Radu, what code are you referring to? Xerces 2.9.1 doesn' t even have support for multi-digit back references. Its documented regex grammar only recognizes: "\1 \2 \3 \4 \5 \6 \7 \8 \9" so this isn't really a bug. Quite coincidentally, Khaled implemented support for multi-digit back references yesterday on the trunk, but I can't imagine you're already using that (unreleased) code.

> Key: XERCESJ-1388
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1388
> Project: Xerces2-J
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Other
> Affects Versions: 2.9.1
> Reporter: Radu Preotiuc-Pietro
>
> When dealing with back-references to groups >= 10, "\" followed by more than one digit must match the largest number, smaller than the total number of groups, that can be constructed by dropping digits from the right.
> So, for instance, \11 must match the 11th capturing group of the expression "^ (#)(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(f)(g)(h)(i)(j)\11", because there are 11 capturing groups; it must not match the first capturing group ant then the digit "1".
