I'm trying to find a way to remove some html tags with jit.str.regexp. 

With [jit.str.regexp @re /()/ @substitute " "] I can remove the tags, but I have a problem with commas: commas split my text in many lists...

What is the magic formula to keep the commas ?

Replacing all commas by "backslash comma" ( [,] --> [,] ) ?

and I have a fabulous crash...
What is wrong ?
Is it a bug ?

Thanks, I can confirm. Looks like jit.str.regexp needs some tuning up 

to catch up with the vanilla regexp object.

1) the box message should be [Hello, the, world], not [Hello, the, world]...

2) I should replace comma by [\,] not [,]

3) the syntax in jit.str.regexp seems wrong: [@re /(,?)/] crashes Max, but [@re /(,)/] works. (With the Max object "regexp", I have no crash, the first returns no result, but the second works fine))

I'm not very good in perl, and I don't know why the first expression is bad.

But the crash...!
