Cool new feature, I'm glad you implemented it. Thanks!

The instructions refer to "For a regex match, use forward slashes as a PCRE delimiter."

What does that mean?

 

[knotical]

regex = regular expression
PCRE = Perl compatible regular expression
Perl = a scripting language

Useful for the cognoscente, but beyond me.

 

[Hawkwood]

You just made that up, right?

 

[knotical]

The "beyond me" part, yes.

 

[kelemvor]

Regular expressions are a syntax for pattern matching. Powerful, but about as far from intuitive as you can get.

Many thanks, Howard. Very helpful feature. Look forward to see what it brings up

 

[Ricky B]

Perhaps the instructions could be translated into every-day English--or hidden?

Works swimmingly. Almost too many notifications. Even if my Default Thread Subscription Mode: is weekly, i get the notifications continuosly. Is there a way to get the notifications weekly that i am missing?
thanks in advance
