Regex everywhere?
« on: September 23, 2011, 03:24:12 pm »

Is there, or will there be, a way to apply your regex engine outside of scripting? One use would be to rework standard tag fields. For a simple example, I would like to reverse all composer names so that "JS Bach" becomes "Bach, JS", etc.  There are many times when I could use the horse power of regex to do bulk cleanup and/or manipulation of tags.  Thanks.

Yes, Regex() is part of the Expression Language. Just like any other function, you can use it in an expression field or column, or in an edit to change existing data.
