Regular Expressions

[projectigi]

Hi,

is there a way to use Regular Expressions with GS2?
Or has someone built a parser in GS2 for them?

[DustyPorViva]

No I've asked for them before but no go :/

I was thinking of making one, until I stumbled on patterns like

\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b

But what syntax are you thinking of though? :o

[DustyPorViva]

Heh, that's REGEX :P

Regex = REGular EXpressions :/

[DustyPorViva]

Exactly what I meant. It was more in the tone of, "Heh, that's REGEX, what do you expect?"

What sort of validation are you trying to do that you'd rather use REGEX over a function you just script yourself?

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I’ll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.
