Re: [mapserver-users] [Feature Request] Ability to extract capture group contents from regex validation

Interesting idea, certainly not crazy. I'm not sure what's possible with regex libs commonly used with MapServer builds. On Tue, Jul 27, 2021 at 6:34 AM Trond Michelsen < trondmm-mapserver+2...@crusaders.no> wrote: > This sounds like a good idea to me, but I would suggest to use named > capture

Re: [mapserver-users] [Feature Request] Ability to extract capture group contents from regex validation

This sounds like a good idea to me, but I would suggest to use named capture groups. In perl, this uses this syntax: (?pattern). So, in this example, it could be: "datetime" "^(?[0-9]{4})[-_](?[0-9]{2})[-_](?[0-9]{2})$" # <- 3 capture groups And the result could then be used in substitution as:
