Regular expressions?

Is the C2 crew considering to add a Regular Expressions plugin or anything like that? I use Regex a lot in game development with Flash and Unity, especially for puzzle games. Even Multimedia Fusion 2 has such a plugin and I consider MMF2 to be obsolete since the existence of C2. I would be very happy to see Regex in C2 as well.

I'm surprised I got no response on this question. <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I think you should elaborate more on what regex you're looking for.

Also it appears some are already handled by the engine, in a way that is specific to C2 (have you had a look at the system expressions/system conditions ?)

As it is, I don't really see regex being particularly adaptable to C2's ways, and a plugin is probably not the best way to implement them anyway.

Gee, I don't know, how many 'regexes' are there? The only Regex I know about is used for searching complex patterns in text/strings, say to check if a string input is in the right format, i.e. [0-9A-Za-z]{6,}@[a-z0-9].(com|org) for e-mail addresses, [ABCDEFGH][12345678] for chess board tiles. All I see in the system expressions/system conditions regarding text/strings are just common string operations.

Regex features are on the todo list.

Great. Is this todo list anywhere on the forums?
