Re: [Framers] Regular Expressions
Wouldn’t you know it! And then there is the Python version… Craig …snipped… there are very subtle differences between "egrep", "grep", "Perl" (FM internal) and "JavaScript" (in ExtendScript)...

Re: [Framers] Regular Expressions
Hi, Yes! Regular expressions are extremely valuable! I use regular expressions in scripts very rarely. But that's only because I will have to learn, how to use them in scripts. I use regular expressions mainly for these tasks: o Select a certain group of files in my file manager. Modify file names. (I really like Total Commander!) o Use Notepad++ to modify text from our software terminology (special format) and other texts. o And of course in FrameMaker, when I have more complex search/replace tasks.
