Regular Expression searches in WinBatch Studio


Question:

Is there a tutorial or any help for using the "regular expression" checkbox in searches in WinBatch Studio? I did some WinBatch Forum searches and looked in the Tech Support Database, but didn't see anything about basic usage.

Answer:

Its mostly a simple subset of Unix regular expressions. When the regular expression box is checked, a little "reminder" button appears to help you remember what some of the regular expression commands are.

To solve this kind of problem, I wrote a Perl script that gives you the full power of regular expressions. You can download the script at http://www.p6c.com/FREEBIES/p6srwin.HTM and you can read the Perl Regular Expression Tutorial at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl-5.6/lib/Pod/perlretut.html, among other places. - David Gray
