I hit this one and need help to resolve it. It looks like in CS 5.31 the pattern “sorry.” will be parsed as un-known word. Please refer to the screen shots.

All other interjection substitutions seem to work fine. Only this “sorry” pattern!

This is annoying because sentence like “I’m sorry. I can’t help.” can not be matched.

Any advice? Many thanks.

I haven’t gone back to check that version. It works for me in 5.51.  You might upgrade to that and see if it works. Otherwise I could look back at your version and see what happened.

Thanks. Didn’t notice the coming of 5.4 and 5.5. I will check it out myself. It is not a good idea to bother you to work on prior releases.

it’s a bug in cs.  fixed internally now, will release this weekend.

Thanks for the action Bruce.

You mean fixed in back release 5.3?

not likely. it was fixed in the release that came out aug 8 area. which would have been 5.5x (whichver one came out then)

This is to report that, as I just installed the following latest version, the bug looks like still there. Thanks for any action.

Thanks for the verification. I have a different set of token control flags, which may be the cause. I’ll check it out.
