"#+date:" regex search fails when foreign newline characters are present

Hi! Thank you for the bug report. That is very strange. I can only assume that the file is opened with the wrong newline mode? Can you tell me the value of your buffer-file-coding-system?

[bastibe]

I tried to reproduce this bug on my machine: I create a new blog post, and save it with latin1-dos as buffer-file-coding-system (line endings are now \r\n, while all other posts are \n). I kill the buffer, then run org-static-blog-publish. But it all works as intended, I don't get an error message.

Could there be something else going on on your machine?

Hmm, interesting. I was able to replicate it with a dummy file.

Okay, here's what I've got:

buffer-file-coding-system defaults to utf-8-unix in org-mode for me.

Post file's encoding is ANSI (which is the default for Windows Notepad).

I've attached a test post that threw the error when I tried to publish it -- it wouldn't let me attach it with the .org extension, so I just renamed it .txt

Your file worked fine for me. Emacs opens the file in undecided-dos.

I tried this again without loading my configuration (run emacs -Q, then eval all of org-static-blog, and only my org-static-blog-specific parts of my init.el), and it again worked without issue.

Could you try that on your machine? Just to make sure that there is nothing in your configuration that is interfering here?

This was resolved -- it was an encoding problem on my end.

Thank you for reporting back. I'm glad you were able to resolve your issue.

I'm also getting a similar error, but my files are all UTF-8 encoded.

The error I get when trying to run org-static-blog-publish:
org-static-blog-get-date: Search failed: "^\#\+date:[ ]*<\([^]>]+\)>$"

[bastibe]

Do all your files contain the #+date: header, and if so, can you pinpoint which one of them causes the issue?

[mcrable]

They do all contain the #+date: in the header. Actually all new files I create on my computer with Ubuntu seem to cause the error. I have another machine with OSX and everything works perfectly there, so I'm really not sure what the issue is.

I am attaching a post I just made (as a txt file) that gives me the error when I run org-static-blog-publish.

Thank you for responding to this, and thank you for org-static-blog, I really like it a lot.

Your file works fine on my computer. If I had to guess, I would say that this is still an encoding issue. Maybe your init.el is in a different encoding?
