Regex replace mangling ID in edge case #14

Closed EternalDeiwos closed 2 years ago

Hey @nathan-sain,

We had an interesting case with our world where references started to fail for the following ID string: a7y5webpSBRhPGx4L. This was after we refactored all references from .png to .webp using the following command:

fwt dedup --ext=".png" --ext=".webp" --byname --preferred=".*webp"

The likelihood of jpg or png appearing as a substring in an ID is very low but seems like it is possible.

Any chance the regex can be altered to avoid this?

Scratch this. Turns out the offending change was caused by a prior, naive regex replacement using sed.
