Overpasss-API request with Regex doesn’t match exactly

Hi,

I want to filter of recycling rontainers with recycling:*=* tags but no recycling_type=container. In the test region are two Containers which have all the tags so they both should not match the regex but one of them is in the result. Maybe I'm missing something obvios here but at the moment I cant figure out what it is.

node(51.710002,10.520173,51.710210,10.520822)
  [~"^recycling:."~"."]
  ["recycling_type"!~"container"];
out body;

One Answer:

I'm pretty sure this is the same bug I reported here: https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/issues/192

The fix has only been committed 4 days ago, so it might take a bit of time until it is available on one of the public Overpass instances.

For the time being please use the difference block statement:

(
  node(51.710002,10.520173,51.710210,10.520822)
       [~"^recycling:."~"."];

  -

  node(51.710002,10.520173,51.710210,10.520822)
  ["recycling_type"~"container"];

);

out body;
