-----------------------------------------------------------------
Right now we specify fields like this:
$${fieldname}
Fields extracted by regexp require:
- a field name
- a regexp
- an optional group specifier (assumes 0 if not specified?)
So what should the syntax be?
$${fieldname|regexp} or $${fieldname|regexp|groupspec}
The pipe separator may be problematic in some cases, so we may also want to be
able to escape characters in the field name and regexp, e.g.:
$${field\|name\|with\|pipe|reg\|exp\|with\|pipe}

> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metadata adjuster transformer
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.10, ManifoldCF 2.2
> Reporter: Karl Wright
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Fix For: ManifoldCF 1.10, ManifoldCF 2.2

>
> The Metadata Adjuster allows you to construct expressions consisting of text
> plus field values, but it doesn't allow you to use regular expressions to
> cull parts out of those field values. It would be helpful to be able to do
> that in some cases.
