One of the reasons Regex is useful is a lot of SQL implementations support it. I suppose in theory at least, anything you can do with Regex, you can write a function to do in Livecode, but I am not so sure you could say the opposite. It really comes down to this. There are simple one liner

Try taking a screen shot of Livecode running a revbrowser and see if the browser content is copied. My guess is that it won't be. If so, then you can display all your content in a browser object. Not sure how other utilities work, they may have a workaround for that. Bob On Dec 31, 2012, at
