Switch ends with bug

[thankful_dude]

Test switch error.kmmacros (4.2 KB)

The line does end with .png.

I just tried this action and it worked as expected.

Perhaps you have an invisible character in there somewhere (a space or newline or other invisible character)?

[thankful_dude]

No special or invisible characters. The text is aaaaa.png2.png
and the ends with is .png

Are you sure you did not enter a RETURN after the ".png" in your variable setup?
I've used this KM IF/THEN Action many times, and it works well. I would be shocked if there is a bug here.

If you are sure, then upload your macro so we can test.

I uploaded here: Keyboard Maestro 8.2.4 “Test switch error” Macro

You have some type of hidden, non-printing character at the end of your string.
When I replace ALL with my typed string, it works fine:

[thankful_dude]

You're changing the string, of course it works fine.
The bug happens with
aaaaa.png2.png
not
myPath.myFile.png

When I use myPath.myFile.png I don't get the bug either. I don't have any special character, I am not even copying and pasting.

[JMichaelTX]

I stand corrected. It does appear to be a bug.
Here's a workaround:

Here's a better Regex:
(?i)\.jpe?g$

It is case insensitive, and ensures there is a dot just before jpg OR jpeg.

@peternlewis, can you confirm?

Here's a better Regex:
(?i)\.jp.?g$

It is case insensitive, and ensures there is a dot just before jpg OR jpeg .

Just made an update to my above post.

Just uploaded an even better RegEx.

Thank you JMichaelTX!

Sorry, you are quite right, it is a bug, I will fix it for the next version.
