The Gimp-Developer Mailing list is *not* about personal insulting people you apparently don't like. While the approach taken by Robin - brushing up an ancient codebase - might be questionable, I highly appreciate that he is contributing to the Gimp project. This apparently can not be said about you - at least I am unable to find any reference to you in the Changelogs or in the AUTHORS file. Please stop flaming around with people that try to help.

Re: [Gimp-developer] regex
So Adam, what kept from doing so this time? Anyone who a) doesn't know what regular expressions are, and b) thinks a project is better without them is c) not fit for work in *nix. gimp or otherwise. Call it a basic competence. A basic competence. Soberly yours, David Weeks On Wednesday 27 November 2002 06:46 pm, Adam D. Moss wrote: > David Weeks wrote: > > I called you right the first time.

Ever the diplomat, Sven. I think the point is probably to do a trawl through legacy code and see how much of it can be flushed, if any. At least that's how I took it. Now that Robin knows that the regex code is useful, at least to some people, he's not planning on touching it.

Actually I don't understand at all why you are dealing with this code. It seems unrelated to 16-bit or floating point support.

There's no reason you should remove it from Gimp. The motive behind my question is I am considering whether to remove regex from Film Gimp. Never having used that feature, I was just trying to figure out what it really does.

It enables powerful searches over the various help texts plugins provide via their Registration. I surely do not understand why having this feature might be considered a bad thing.

I understand that regex enables doing a wildcard search in the plug-ins database. What I have trouble imagining is the scenario where regex search in Gimp is necessary or useful. Few users even know how to phrase a regex search. Is this just feature-itis? Do I correctly surmise that regex could be removed without being missed?

I understand what regex does generally, just not why gimp-plug-ins-query needs it. My confusion relates to script-fu and gimp plug-ins with respect to regex. Why query a plug-in as a regular expression? What's the point? Thanks!

We only provide one as a fallback for the case that libc doesn't have the regex functionality we need. This is the code in the regexrepl directory that you'll find in the toplevel source directory. The regex code is used by gimp-plug-ins-query (and a similar function in script-fu). I don't understand how you can not understand this code since it seems pretty straight-forward.
