Group counting issue #2

Closed hughsaunders closed 9 years ago

hughsaunders commented 9 years ago

Hey, Thanks for writing this visualiser, I enjoyed playing with it :+1:

However I noticed an issue where nested capture groups cause backrefs to be marked as recursive when they aren't.

screen shot 2014-11-26 at 13 13 57

In the screenshot, the diagram shows the outer capture group as \1 and the inner group as \2. This is consistent with grep. However when I add \2 inside group 1, but not inside group 2, the backref is marked as recursive.

Thank you. This mistake was made by my previous unwise hotfix. Now it was fixed.
