SUMMARY
Cannot fetch currency conversions


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run "Update stock and currency prices" from the menu

OBSERVED RESULT
Produces the following output:

Fetching URL https://fx-rate.net/CAD/USD...
Identifier found: 'CAD/USD'
Date found: 'Mon. Aug. 7 2023'
Unable to update price for CAD > USD (no price or no date)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux (Ubuntu 23.04)
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried looking at the regex contained at line 584 in "webpricequote.cpp". The problem seems to be that the output from fx-rate.net doesn't put a space inside the br tag. I think that adding a "*" after the "\s" in the br tag in the regex should fix the issue, but I haven't recompiled the source to make sure.

Thank you for the analysis. Recompiling won't help you, because those values are only used when the application is run for the first time. After that, use "Settings/Configure KMyMoney/Online Quotes" to modify the regex. An updated regex could be found e.g. on https://discuss.kde.org/t/kmoney-currency-udpates-not-working/3037
