FWIW, I would agree with this assessment. The regex requirements for this are simpler than full JavaRE (for example), because we're not doing replacements, which is where a lot of regex complexity comes in - so grouping and forward/backwards references aren't needed. But a switch to go between simple wildcard settings and full regex would be nice. Similarly, tools that would enable/disable regex flags (another area that can get confusing for novices) would be good - so case sensitivity can be enabled/disabled using a checkbox rather than having to remember to prepend (?i) to the expression. But the essentials of regex are useful: "." = a single character (or nothing) "*" = repeat the previous character any number of times "[A-Z]" and other ranges = ranges of characters. "^" = start of line "$" = end of line And of course "\" to escape special characters used in the above. :) Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
