problem with online quotes/regexps in KMyMoney 5.0.5

[Geza Giedke]

Dear Thomas,

thanks a lot for your help and the explanations regarding the syntax
and sorry for the delay (I had a hard disk problem and had to
reinstall the brand new Leap 15.1).

Yes, now things work for me. (Just for the record, I now realize that
I messed things up during my trial-and-errors on the weekend: I
mistyped the symbol as "PFE.FRA"  ("." instead of ":") and since then
nothing worked anymore (of course). Once that's corrected,  also my
expression

Price \(EUR\)</span><span class="mod-ui-data-list__value">([\d, ]+\.\d+)

matches the price.)

Do I inderstand your more concise expression
([\d\.,]+)
correctly as matching "any uninterrupted sequence of digits, "." and ",""?

thanks again
 Geza
