Hi! I joined this group to searched for explanation about my problem
with regexp.

my procedure was just to validate an entry widget., using the
%substitution "%S". the procedure checks for a valid real numbers
using regular expression.

there is
[ string is double $value ]

I tested the procedure with one at a time keypress of alphabets..seem
OK.
I tested the procedure with faster keypress of alphabets..then all of
a sudden my procedure went on accepting any entry.
your regular expression failed i.e. the expression does not cover
your input ?


can anyone help me explain why this happen? I was about to trap the
data i need from this procedure, but if your finger is quick on the
letters-->my code does not function well.
could you post your code?

halfOT: I find validation on every character a bother.
