Hi, there's now a first and limited implementation of the <regexp> syntax in master. Instead of
<pattern><token>foo</token></pattern> you can now use <regexp>foo</regex> But be aware that this is a real regular expression that ignores tokens, so it matches anything with the substring 'foo'. Also, the regular expression is case-insensitive by default. You can have a look at the German grammar.xml for many examples. To make use of these, you can adapt and run RuleSimplifier in the dev package. It tries to convert simple rules automatically, but it's just a hack, the new rules need to be tested and adapted manually. It also only touches rules without '<marker>' elements. There's no <marker> for regexp, it's always the complete match that will be underlined. You obviously cannot use the regex to access the part-of-speech tags of the match. But replacements are also limited, e.g. changing case currently doesn't work. By using \1 you can access the first matching group, i.e. the first parenthesis group of the regexp etc. Please let me know how this works for you.
