Please let me add another question. Is this "MatchWhole"-property of a sheet-doc
nessecary at all?
Any spreadsheet-formula, supporting regexes can match whole cells even when the
option is turned off [=MATCH("^"&stringVal&"$";ref;0) vs.
=MATCH(stringVal;ref;0)]. In numeric context it's pointless anyway. Same with a
sheet-filter.
StarBasic-speaking:
If NOT FilterDescriptor.IsNumeric then isRegex = True
MatchWhole = (left(stringValue,1) = "^") AND (right(stringValue,1) ="$")
This would result in the same behaviour as a formula shows when MatchWhole = Off
(I saved that setting with my default-template). So I believe
"UseRegularExpression" as property of a filterDescriptor is obsolete as well.
Any regex-unaware user should find a short list of rules in the online-help
*before* he/she gets confronted with the famous "List of Regular Expressions":
1. Use .* instead of *
2. Use . instead of ?
3. Use ^ for start, $ for end and both for matching whole string.
4. Escape all kinds of brackets and literal ^$.*?\& with \ (in case of doubt
escape anything but <, > and alphanumerics)
