Its come up before that we don't have regex in outliner search http://markmail.org/message/sz7i7bq57gtn3b26 IMHO this is more a feature for a full featured programmers text editor. Of course this would be useful to some - but IMHO doesn't warrant adding a dependency on LibPCRE (or other regex libs), It could be implemented as a python operator and use pythons regex without adding new dependencies but this would be tricky to integrate with existing find. Personally I'm not keen to have blenders text editor become something as big as vim/scite/emacs/notepad++/geany etc... Although if the text-editors Python-API was improved we could have more features like this without the burden on maintaining so much C source. -- - Campbell _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
