Comments in regex

[bigi]

I've got quite a lot of complex regex filters in my current config, and to ease find the right ones as i go through issues, I have started making lines containing -----zzzzz <comment> but this is causing issues if i specify any special characters in the explanation!

the reason it's a bit of a nightmare is i have about 85 current regex filters, and about 20 of them handle dates, years, and number ranges - so having to work out what each look ahead/behind/up/down(!) regex is doing takes an age.

To ease my aching brain cell, is it possible to add a separate comments field - or even some way to signify a special comment line that the regex engine completely ignores?

Hi, the multiple regex editor does not support comments, however comments could be supported when loading the multiple regex list from a file.
Another option is to have the Match in RegEx(1) being able to point directly to a text file of multiple regular expressions and that file could support comments (= ignore // , like in JavaScript).

either option would be brilliant - it just gets a very painful job when i'm trying to remember what each regex does lol
