I read the archives last night for "regex." What I found was very few examples in transcript using them. So I was wondering if anyone has code examples that also can be explained so that a newbie can understand them? Even the syntax documents are not useful for newbies. This would be nice if anyone here is in the process of writing a book for Rev users.
Mark, start by reading the Transcript Dictionary entries for matchText(), matchChunk(), replaceText() and "Regular Expressions Syntax". Note that "filter" uses wildcards, but not regular expressions.
Do a web search for Perl regular expressions tutorials, or pick up a book: O'Reilly has a book all about Regular Expressions. Then just experiment.
Code examples would be a good idea. I will write a few... but I don't know when.
