Not being a RegExp expert: Would // at the end of the line be safe (non-ambiguous) with all sorts of RegExp filters?aurumdigitus wrote:While recently doing an involved operation it become necessary to construct several intricate Visual Filters.

Could this or a similar approach be implemented?
Not being RegExp gifted either that's why left open the door to similar approach, i.e. some other symbol or character.Admin wrote:Not being a RegExp expert: Would // at the end of the line be safe (non-ambiguous) with all sorts of RegExp filters?
Code: Select all
GRAPHICS: *.bmp,*.gif,*.ico,*.jpe,*.jpeg,*.jpg,*.pngDid you mean 'Visual Filter' is an RegEx and you want to add an option to comment within that RegEx?admin wrote:Not being a RegExp expert: Would // at the end of the line be safe (non-ambiguous) with all sorts of RegExp filters?aurumdigitus wrote:While recently doing an involved operation it become necessary to construct several intricate Visual Filters.

(?#comment) is already supported in all XY RegExps.Stefan wrote:Did you mean 'Visual Filter' is an RegEx and you want to add an option to comment within that RegEx?admin wrote:Not being a RegExp expert: Would // at the end of the line be safe (non-ambiguous) with all sorts of RegExp filters?aurumdigitus wrote:While recently doing an involved operation it become necessary to construct several intricate Visual Filters.

Then try (?#comment)

inline modifier (?x).

``the /x modifier'',

I think this is an good idea.admin wrote: Now, consequently should the tab caption show just the VF caption (if there is any)? Like this (for a filter "images" *.gif|*.png|*.jpg):
How that the code has appeared in Beta with near the speed of light hopefully others in addition to Don and myself will find it a useful adjunct!v8.90.0014 - 2010-03-24 14:00
+ Visual Filters: Now you can prepend a caption to each filter item. The syntax is similar to the one you know from Favorites or the POM, only that the quoted caption must be followed by a space character to avoid ambiguities.
For example:
"Images" *.gif|*.png|*.jpg
"Items ending with g" >g$
The tab captions will show only the (unquoted) caption of a VF with caption.
