[jira] [Commented] (UIMA-5416) Ruta: strange behavior of # matching

["Peter Klügl (JIRA)" <de...@uima.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5416?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16080071#comment-16080071 ] 

Peter Klügl commented on UIMA-5416:
-----------------------------------

I created a new ticket for the problem with combination of the wildcard and the optional rule element. The second problem with the high amount of matches is actually not a problem but a feature. There are double annotations on the periods causing alternative matches all the time.

> The attached ruleset Loop.ruta has a strange behavior on the attached text file : the last rule matches 1009 times and creates 1008 annotations where only two are expected. What is very strange is the ability for # to "cross" over the right boundary and match the two lines. 
> This is (at least) counterintuitive as # is supposed to behave like a non-greedy catch-all.
