How 2 Select items using Regex and Script?

Post by neutrox »

sc selectitems or the obvious sc selfilter seem to not support regex like the context menu "selection filter" does.
Am I missing something here...?

:idea: Even recursive reports could benefit on this :idea:

:whistle:

I wanted to write a quick script and came here looking to see if someone else already did it, couldn't find anything similar. So I figured I'd write it myself, then quickly realized that selfilter didn't support regex which I think would have been the best way to accomplish my task... Is this on the roadmap, or is there another selection method now that does support regex?
