[Framers] Regular Expressions

[Reng Winfried]

Hi,

Yes! Regular expressions are extremely valuable!
I use regular expressions in scripts very rarely. But that's only because I will have 
to learn, how to use them in scripts.
I use regular expressions mainly for these tasks:
o Select a certain group of files in my file manager. Modify file names.
  (I really like Total Commander!)
o  Use Notepad++ to modify text from our software terminology (special format) and other texts.
o And of course in FrameMaker, when I have more complex search/replace tasks.

Best regards

Winfried

Regular expressions are so useful in a lot of different contexts, including FrameMaker, ExtendScript, XSLT, Notepad++, etc. I just did an ExtendScript job this morning that uses regular expressions to parse out comma-separated text. Once I figured out the regular expression pattern, the rest of it was easy. Thanks for posting the link.

   I found this great site for regular expressions. [1]https://regexr.com/

   It has a really nice summary of the regular expressions syntax - click
   on Cheatsheet - and a test area where you can test your regular
   expressions.

   Note that in FrameMaker, the regular expression A-Z finds lowercase
   letters also, unless you select Consider Case.
