Summary: Unexpected string indexing behavior
Key: BIT-1097
URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1097
Project: Bro Issue Tracker
Issue Type: Problem
Components: Bro
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: Robin Sommer
Playing with string indexing/slicing, I'm seeing some (I think) non-intuitive behavior:
{code}
global s = "012345";
print "A";
print s[1:-1];
print s[1:-2];
print s[1:-3];
print s[1:-4];
print s[1:-5];
print s[1:-6];
print s[1:-7];
print s[1:-8];
print s[1:-9];
print "";
print "B";
print s[-1:-1];
print s[-1:-2];
print s[-1:-3];
print s[-1:-4];
{code}
This prints:
{code}
A
12345
1234
123
12
1
12345
12345
12345
B
5
5
5
{code}
I would instead have expected:
(1) A to print empty lines for all cases with the 2nd index <= -6?
(2) B to print empty lines for all cases with the 2nd index <= -2?
So, is this intentional?
