Regular expressions support
|
It would be really handy to have regular expressions support in INSTR() & INSTRREV() for example, or perhaps even better, to have a separate RegEx() function that could then be combined with any function or code in a script.
Examples of regular expressions can be found here (posted by kdyer a while ago).

I hardly use regExp but still must agree, it might be usefull.
btw, this is kinda fresh update on the request found in:

I have several posts on using Regular Expressions in KiXtart. In fact I submitted a KixGolf solution using them.
[edit] I have some rough UDFs written also, but have not had time to polish them. [/edit]

IIRC, you used com-object in that golf, no?

WSH COM... Since KiXtart does not include a RegEx engine, that would be the only alternative. Not a bad solution if one is trying to keep KiXtart lean and mean.
I will post the rough UDFs for comments in another thread.

This is still highly wanted!
Howard's RegEx VBS-function UDF just made it possible for me to in a very neatly way, with minimal amount of code perform a complex search within over 2000 text files!
