[QUOTE=chalsall;478745]Please forgive me for this, but I am often amazed by how few people understand the most basic of rules.

Regular expressions defines a period as being any character. A "star" ("*") means any number of matches; zero, one, or many.

This regex could have also been done using a "\d*", which means any number of digits, including none. "\d+", on the other hand, means that at least one decimal character exists.[/QUOTE]

Indeed.

I chose .* because I'm lazy and it's the fewest characters required in this case.

An aside: I wish sed supported lookahead and lookbehind.

[QUOTE]That probably means you started a new run of it using a previous save file, rather than an entirely new run starting from scratch[/QUOTE]
That is the case. When it started throwing Jacobi failures, I rolled back until there were no errors reported, and continued from there. When the first run yielded a mismatch, I backed up further and tried again, getting another mismatch which didn't match my first result. I started from scratch at that point, but the bad results got submitted, so the last run terminated with a No Such Assignment.

Time to switch to Gerbicz PRP testing.

work that needs triple+ checks
 

Hi all,

Now that I no longer have machines to run these myself, I thought I could list the exponents that need a 3rd (or more) check if anyone else wanted to do some verifying runs.

Here's the current list:

I took everything above 53M, except these:

[CODE]
DoubleCheck=62457943,74,1
DoubleCheck=79820087,75,1
[/CODE]

where I was the one who did the double-check.

Thanks, you guys rock.

It was really cool to be able to do these verification runs in near-realtime so that people who had a mismatch wouldn't be left hanging for years in some cases.

Considering the huge backlog of tests that needed a triple-check when I first started on them, it was hard to imagine ever really catching up, but AirSquirrels in particular did a great job helping with the backlog.

Just before I turned in my last test, I think it was down to just a pair of tests that were assigned to other people... going slow, but progressing. Ah well, I came close to getting them all done before having to quit. :smile:

A little off-topic, but I'm hoping your new job will give you access to even more computing power. :D

I'm gtaking the following:

DoubleCheck=45551677,73,1
DoubleCheck=46090507,73,1
DoubleCheck=46329053,73,1
