I'm not sure what you mean by your question. Rewrite their existing expressions from what? Perl? Maybe. The new syntax is very Perl-like.
------ The ? is a new 'command' in MX RegEx that tells the previous special character to only operate as many times as needed but not more. For example, string = "this is a test" [a-z]+ will match the whole string [a-z]+? will match "t" The t is the minimum amount that will satisfy the + modifier. > > "Ben is [a-zA-Z ]*?\." > > would work in MX.
