Dot separated numbers with more than 2 numbers present serious parsing problems.
- A search for the regexp
\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\D gave 226 hits.
- A search for the regexp
\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\D gave 106 hits.
- A search for the regexp
\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\D gave 1 hit.
Many of these have at least one full-stop that should be either a comma or a semicolon plus a space or a full-stop plus a space.
There are also some similar problem patterns that include either a hyphen/minus or a comma.
Here are some examples with a comma:
- A search for the regexp
\d+\.\d+,\d+\.\d+\.\D gave 9 hits.
- A search for the regexp
\d+\.\d+,\d+\.\d+\.\d+ gave 26 hits.
- A search for the regexp
\d+\.\d+\.\d+,\d+\.\d+ gave 1 hit.
- A search for the regexp
\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+,\d+ gave 16 hits.
- A search for the regexp
\d+,\d+\.\d+\.\d+,\d+ gave 2 hits.
Each such xref must be reviewed in context to determine how best to resolve the problems.
