No.
Backwards.
It would be fair to call Linux "unix at its core."

Thanks Kay, I came across regExhibit a couple of days ago and it's been my
main learning tool. Before that I was using a very similar tool at
http://www.gskinner.com/RegExr/. One thing I liked about that is that it
allows you to save regexs with descriptions of what they do

APL is surely a contender here, eg:

(~RεRº_xR)/R<-1|iR

A bit longer than I had meant. If you want to try a distribution, get the
xfce version of PCLinuxOS to start. But Debian is where you will end up.

Read the LC Dictionary entry for matchText. Regex IS already implemented in
LC, if you care to use it. More importantly to you, as the dictionary
states, it is PCRE library compatible, which to me means it is OS agnostic.
All you need to do is learn the syntax (admittedly not trivial for some of

One of the reasons Regex is useful is a lot of SQL implementations support it.
I suppose in theory at least, anything you can do with Regex, you can write a
function to do in Livecode, but I am not so sure you could say the opposite. It
