I have found a way. Perhaps there are other more elegant ideas, but i
could not think of them...
%SETPATTREGEXP=" {5}\[.{13}\]| {4}\[.{14}\]| {3}\[.{15}\]"
%REGEXPMATCH=" [The Bat! %THEBATVERSION]"
^^^^^^^^ spaces (enough of them!)
The key is that you combine several subpattern in the form
" {5}\[.{13}\]" (without quotes) for every possible length of your
version string. The first number is the number of digits it takes (5
in this example) when the string inside the brackets is 13 characters
long.
Make sure that in the REGEXPMATCH you put enough spaces for the
biggest variant (in my example '5').
My RE above is only a short example and works only for three different
lengths, but you should be able to expand it to any desired length.
