There are some restrictions for now. If v is a vector of strings, you _can match_ with v[i][regex], but you _cannot replace_ with v[i][regex]=expr for now. I will look at fixing this in 4.6. On a related note, you and maybe one or two other people might wonder whether, since you can say (any_string_expr)[match], you can also say (vec.createfromlines(var))[index] The answer is, yes, you can, but you probably should not, since PowerPro does not release the temporary vector in this case. I will look at fixing this in 4.6. Its just a matter of implementing the same technique as COM plugin, but I did not want to risk breaking vectors (again) for now. (Of course, you can always use line or word fuctions instead of creating a vector, which will be faster in this case too). Finally, now that REs are in PowerPro, I will look at extending caption lists so that r=regex can be used to match a caption and maybe x=regex to match an exe name. Maybe even something like z=regex to match exename\rcaption so that you can build some super- duper RE that looks at both exename and caption if that is your cup of tea.
