This is a re-post of an earlier poll earlier post that Jeffy reported as invalid. So I am posting again as for me this is one of two missing critical features of Textpad. I had asked the site admin to fix the previous poll, however, the previous poll can only be deleted and not fixed. So here it is...

I am a regular user of regular expressions

I would support added for support for Perl5/JavaScript regular expressions. Thus I can use regular expressions as they are given from books and web sites such as Regular Expression Library

For example, Perl5/JavaScript uses character classes:

\w Matches on any word character

\W Matches on any non-word character

\s Matches on any white-space character

\d Matches on any digit character

\D Matches on any non-digit character

An example showing that regular expressions will not be a hard feature to implement.

See the Code Project project Notepad RE (Regular Expressions)
