A swapping-ground for Regular Expression syntax

what regex engine is BRU using?

Postby bobkoure » Tue Jun 05, 2007 2:52 pm

I'd like to know what extensions are supported, but if you know the "flavor" of the engine I can likely figure that out on my own.
I'm interested in using the "greediness-off" operator -> +? and *?
but I also suspect the comment one (?#blah blah blah) would be very useful.

Thanks!
Bob

Thanks!

... and I now realize that if I jad simply looked up "regular expressions" in BRE help, I'd have gotten the same info. D'oh!

BTW, did you notice that if you use the Help "index" function, there's also "regular exporessions" listed?
