Somewhere between 6.35 and current, $hfind changed to no longer search past the 'line length limit'.

Results from different versions:

Quote:
1 vs 1 123456791 6.35 /hfind_test 123456789
1 vs 0 4151 7.52 /hfind_test 4149
1 vs 0 8293 7.52 1265 /hfind_test 8291


Code:
alias hfind_test {
  bset -t &var $1 abc
  noop because hfind won't search past 0x00: | breplace &var 0 $asc(a)
  hadd -bm table item &var
  echo 4 $hfind(table, *b*, 0, w).data vs $hfind(table, *c*, 0, w).data $bvar(&var,0) $version $beta /hfind_test $1
  hdel table item
}


Edit:

The above was for wildcard match. For regex match, 6.35 couldn't see past the line length limit like it could for wildcard match. (Thanks Wims) For the below, 6.35 matches at %len 4150 but not 4151. In the newest beta, regex's limit is %len 8292

Code:
//var %len 4151 | bset -t &var %len b | breplace &var 0 $asc(a) | hadd -bm table item &var | echo 4 $hfind(table, (a*b$), 0, r).data $bvar(&var,0)
