Find the position of each apostrophe and iterate back through the text while the character is still ' \ '

I've been trying to find a nice way to clean up those slashes, I'm not great with regex and after many convoluted, messy attempts that all 'kind of' worked, I decided to take a break.

Then I came up with this...

/\\+(?= \ ')/g

Damn so simple. Version 2.0.9.5 has applied it to both quote text and posts. It should make a big difference. This post is good for a before and after test.

I love trying to make a useful regex, then looking at it later having no clue what I just wrote.

Thank you

I'm just sorry it's taking me so long to get these things done. I don't have much spare time atm, plus I'm working on a major upgrade of RS-Linkify. These recent forum issues have come at particularly bad time for me. But I'd rather this than have the exploit unpatched. However it has set me back a bit, I'd rather put my spare time into improvements rather than fixes.

I'll just make do, and get on top of it all eventually

Awesome, the fix makes posts look normal again

I just feel sorry for people who don't use linkify.

lol Blasty I know exactly what you mean, you should see my regex for linkify url detection.

One sec I'll edit and post it...

Edit:
this is for most links (made from various examples around the web with some of my own modifications)

/(\b(https?|ftp|file):\/\/[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_()|'!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_()|])/

this is for youtube (based on something from stackoverflow that I only slightly changed)...

/(?:youtube\.com\/(?:[^\/]+\/.+\/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)\/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be\/)([^"&?\/ ]{11})/

there are some other routines I run after the matches, but they are trivial by comparison. It gives me a headache just looking at them lol.

I just did a quick search and found this:

Might print it out to do and look like a maniac on public transport ^_^
