Regex Engine

[WordBaron]

Is there somewhere that lists the regular expression flavor that is used for XYplorer for RegExp Rename? I'm a HUGE fan of Regular Expressions and I use them all the time. I use Jan Goyvaerts' tools (EditPad Pro, PowerGREP, RegEx Buddy and creator of RegularExpressions.info which I've seen listed on this site) for creating and using regular expressions and I'm typically used to using the perl syntax. However, I can't seem to nail down what XYplorer is using and in order to really create the renaming options I want, I need to understand what flavor is being used and then see if something like RegExBuddy will translate some of my regular expressions into the right syntax.

More generally, is there someplace where the different regex options in the flavor implemented are provided?
For instance I would like to know things like the following...
Are shorthand character classes like \d for digits supported?
Are positive/negative lookahead/lookbehinds supported?
Are anchors and word boundries supported?

I'm sorry if I missed this documentation somewhere. I'd really like to make full use of this feature but I haven't been able to find the documentation that explains the RegExp Rename feature in anything more than a cursory level. I personally don't need regex help, I just need to know the flavor and basic support of regex options so I can properly adapt existing regexs I have.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

if i remember correctly, xyplorer uses the VBScript flavour.
in regexbuddy you can find it under: JavaScript -> VBScript
a list of non-supported features is here.

Muroph,

Thank you! That seems to be the regex engine used. I converted a couple of my regexs to the VBScript syntax and so far they've worked great. Thank you!
