[archived] saw_regexp

I’ve been hacking together some regular expression support for some ideas I’m toying with (mainly for a gallery.)

Sadly, I don’t have much time to spend on playing with this stuff as I would like, but I though I’d release the plugin to get some feedback.

Download saw_regexp

update:

What does it do? Well, it doesn’t have anything to do with a gallery yet. All it does is supply the ability to use regular expressions to replace text inside your templates.

Re: [archived] saw_regexp

I would be polite to say what the plugin actually does, so that people know what they are downloading. I can’t imagine what ‘regular expressions’ have in common with a gallery.

Obviously you are not a Perl programmer. <code>=^.^=</code>

Edit: Apparently I only amused myself.

You’re right, I’m not. I do use regexp quite often, though.

Re: [archived] saw_regexp

I don’t get it. What does it do & what is the benefit? Is it a short-cut? Will it improve productivity? Will it get me babes? :o)

Re: [archived] saw_regexp

RegExp stands for regular expressions, and it’s a way to match characters to a search string. It’s kind of hard to explain, but instead of searching for words, you search for something defined by an expression, like ^[A-Z] matches any line that starts with a capital letter.
