ISPF regexn are fairly basic, and evn with a PCRE level you wouldn't br able to
do things like these
CHANGE 73/80 TO X10+10 IN EVERY 3RD LINE OF 'ABC' 1/3 in 1.5-2/3.7+2
COPY 'BAL' 10/15 TO END
CHANGE 73/80 TO '' IN EVERY 3RD LINE START 2 OF 'BAL' 10/15
CHANGE '(' DIGITS*3 ')' TO SUBSTRING 2/4

Doesn't current ISPF's regexp support let you do the same thing? Not
that I've learned yet how to do that stuff...
Even before regexps, you could always use the ISPF hack "X ALL", "F
ALL string", "C ALL NX oldstr newstr". Which is probably why I
haven't gotten around to learning regexps.
