Regex

Post by sultaz »

I have used TextPad for some time, but am new to using Wildedit. I see this regex post is pretty popular. Is there a good link that I can reference to learn what some of these syntax's are? Example: The Regex code for a space or multiple spaces.

I would appreciate any help that can be give.

While you're waiting for the O'Reilly book to be delivered :wink: you can get by with the following RE:

(from Reference: Regular Expression Syntax, in WildEdit's help.)
