Filter Wildcards by imsaborda on 05-08-2005 at 04:59 AM
Is there a way in the filters that you can assign the wildcard onto the replacement text? Like in perl you'd do \\1, \\2, etc...
ex:
text to replace = "run*"
replacement text = "walk\\1"
so say the message is "the horse runs" itd be replaced with "the horse walks", "the horse is running" is "the horse is walking", "the horse will run" is "the horse will walk", etc... off of the one filter entry in the example

why dont we just ask for full on regular expressions? then we could create more powerfull search and replacing things

* WDZ likes regexps
It would probably be hard to code/implement though, but maybe there's some already-written code available that Patchou could use...
