Surely you meant Active4D.. I can only wish 4D had native regex functions...
heck, I can even wish I could use regex to query the database, instead of just
the "@" wildcard :)

Subject: Re: [Active4d-dev] regex help
The "/" pattern begin and end pattern markers are implementation
dependent. They basically say "this string is a regex pattern". My
experience is that in various languages you usually need them,
especially where those languages offer a regex match operator.
It gets a little confusing with 4D because if you use QFree you don't
specify them , but in 4D you do.
