[jsword-devel] Range searches

[Chris Burrell]

The code in question:

Matcher rangeMatcher = RANGE_PATTERN.matcher(sought);

   /**
     * The pattern of a range. This is anything that is contained between a
     * leading [] (but not containing a [ or ]), with a + or - optional
prefix,
     * perhaps surrounded by whitespace.
     */
    private static final Pattern RANGE_PATTERN =
Pattern.compile("^\\s*([-+]?)\\[([^\\[\\]]+)\\]\\s*");

The comment doesn't seem to make clear it should be at the start... Not
sure if there is a technical constraint...
