Find and Replace

 

Regular Expressions

A regular expression is a pattern of text characters (such as the letters a through z, or special characters such as *) that describes a string to match when performing a search of text.

VBScript RegExp

Objective Edit’s Find/Replace Dialog uses VBScript’s Regular Expression (RegExp) object, which provides simple regular expression support.

In the function BOOL SECEditRegExp::Create(), the CreateDispatch(_T(“VBScript.RegExp”)) method serves as a connection to VBScript regular expressions. (In VBScript, the regular expression engine was implemented as a COM object so it could be called from sources outside VBScript.)

Search MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/) for details on the VBScript RegExp object.
