Hi, I'm thinking adding bookmarking to enable quick navigating to interesting points on a map. - point to a location on a map and issue "bookmark this point" without any feature selected, add comment, and it's saved in a bookmarks view. - select any feature and bookmark it. - without selecti

Could you still use regex matching on the back end, but just internally escape the raw string input to turn it into a pattern? I think this should be possible maybe by simpling escaping every char in the input string. Larry Becker wrote: > Yes, Eclipse has that option, however it would be

Yes, Eclipse has that option, however it would be much more difficult to program without using the pattern matcher. It would basically revert to a simple exact match string comparison. Larry On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 4:29 PM, Martin Davis wrote: > Is it worth having an option to choose plain text

Is it worth having an option to choose plain text or regex? Some text editors do this. That way if a search string contains some of the (numerous) special regex chars, the user doesn't have to escape everything in sight. M Michael Michaud wrote: > Larry Becker a écrit : > >>> @Larry : I t

This subset looks safe enough: . Matches any single character (many applications exclude newlines, and exactly which characters are considered newlines is flavor, character encoding, and platform specific, but it is safe to assume that the line feed character is included). Within POSIX bracket ex

It looks to me like the syntax for the POSIX character classes is different on the Wikipedia article to the Java Pattern class. 8^( (You know what they say about standards...) These are quite useful, so this could be important to note. Larry Becker wrote: > I like the "POSIX Basic Regular

I like the "POSIX Basic Regular Expressions" section of the Wikipedia article. Still not for the feint-of-heart. On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 12:08 PM, Martin Davis wrote: > Check these out: > > > http://leepoint.net/notes-java/data/strings/40regular_expressions/05regex.html > http://en.wikipedia.org

Yes, that would be nice. The Pattern language is *very* powerful, but *very* complex too. Hmm... there's a book in there I think - or at least a nice website. The language I think follows most common conventions for regex languages - and I'm pretty sure there's some good general references out
