I have the same problem.

go to XSStrike then go to core then use nano or anything and replace this line

pre = re.sub(r'(?s){.?}|(?s)(.?)|(?s)".?"|(?s)'.?'', '', pre)

to this

pre = re.sub(r'(?s)({.?}|(.?)|".?"|'.?')', '', pre)

then try the tool now

That's not working, change the code to this :
pre = re.sub(r'({.?}|(.?)|".?"|'.?')', '', pre)

same changed but still not working

[Shirshakhtml]

Try this one

pre = re.sub(r'\{.*?\}|\(.*?\)|".*?"|\'[^\']*\'', '', pre, flags=re.DOTALL)

[precendent]

Try this one

pre = re.sub(r'\{.*?\}|\(.*?\)|".*?"|\'[^\']*\'', '', pre, flags=re.DOTALL)

It's Working!!!

navigate to the directory then you can run a recursive grep:
grep -rH 'pre = re.sub' *
