Regex quantifiers not working as expected

[ovidiuchirca]

Hello,

I came across some problem trying the examples from the tutorial.
Precisely, when I try this:
f2 -f '[ ]{1,}' -r '_'
with one file named "Screenshot from 2022-04-12 14:37:35.png" like in the tutorial,
the quantifier is not working, I get the message "the search criteria didn't match any files".
The problem is with "one or more" quantifier, I have tried {1} for exactly one and it worked perfectly.
{1,5} doesn't work either

Am I missing something?

Thank you!

@ovidiuchirca Thanks for this! It was due to a bug which has been fixed here: #88

Thanks for the reply! One more thing: is there a way to "trim" the spaces in the filename? I mean not to remove completely, but to reduce more than one consecutive space to one space. I try f2 -f '[ ]{2,}' -r ' ' but it completely removes the spaces...

@ovidiuchirca You are right! The underlying library I'm using was trimming spaces by default. I have fixed that now in v2.0.3.

Thank you!
