Hi, Yes! Regular expressions are extremely valuable! I use regular expressions in scripts very rarely. But that's only because I will have to learn, how to use them in scripts. I use regular expressions mainly for these tasks: o Select a certain group of files in my file manager. Modify file names. (I really like Total Commander!) o Use Notepad++ to modify text from our software terminology (special format) and other texts. o And of course in FrameMaker, when I have more complex search/replace tasks.

Once I figured out the regular expression pattern, the rest of it was easy. Thanks for posting the link.

[1]https://regexr.com/ It has a really nice summary of the regular expressions syntax - click on Cheatsheet - and a test area where you can test your regular expressions. Note that in FrameMaker, the regular expression A-Z finds lowercase letters also, unless you select Consider Case.
