The only time I think I've ever needed regex was with getstringkeys(). Those instances are few and far between though, and I don't even remember them. Would I have loved to be able to use regex in the few times I actually needed it? Hell yes. Do I really think it's needed? Not really. It's just not something I see being used too much to justify the effort of adding it. Now that can be said about a lot of things, but I feel this is one of those additions that everyone gets all giddy over and then they get it and don't know what the **** they actually want to do with it, and forgets about it. However, if there were any regex added, a very simple form of it would suffice. At least, if not regex then a rip-off wildcard system that format uses(%s, %d, and so on). Anything more complicated would definitely not be used in my opinion. |
