451649 - [silme] properties parser ignores entities which beginns with spaces

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: Infrastructure, defect)

Description

[Adrian Kalla [:adriank]]

The properties parser in Silme ignores entities which beginns with spaces like

" stateBlockedPolicy=This download has been blocked by your Security Zone Policy" 

in toolkit/locales/en-US/chrome/mozapps/downloads/downloads.properties.

I think that we need to change this regexp:
entityPattern = re.compile('^([^#!\s\r\n][^=:\r\n]*?)\s*[:=][ \t]*(.*?)[ \t]*$',re.M)
to solve the problem.

Oh, sure. Please, take a look at Pike's regexp for properties and also make sure that your regexp covers multiline properties.
Then give me a patch and we're done :)
