RSS test regex and actual regex differ

[pcroland]

Type: Bug Report

In regex I set to download .XXX., but it downloads *XXX too as you can see here:

• Flood 4.7.0
• node: v12.22.10
• npm: 6.14.16
• latest Chrome
• jesec/rtorrent 0.9.8-r15

Frontend:

flood/client/src/javascript/components/modals/feeds-modal/DownloadRulesTab.tsx

Lines 100 to 101 in 8e94b60

 const isMatched = new RegExp(match, 'gi').test(check); 
 const isExcluded = exclude !== '' && new RegExp(exclude, 'gi').test(check); 

Backend:

flood/server/util/feedUtil.ts

Lines 64 to 65 in 8e94b60

 const isMatched = new RegExp(rule.match, 'gi').test(matchField); 
 const isExcluded = rule.exclude !== '' && new RegExp(rule.exclude, 'gi').test(matchField); 

Your issue is likely caused by \. \ requires escaping itself in JavaScript. I will check why Flood failed to do that automatically, but [.] would be a safer choice if you want to match . literally.
