Pat Stanford Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 The new (VW2022) FindPattern function seems to allow Regex searching of strings in worksheets. But it does not seem to support full Regex functionality. Does anyone know of any documentation besides the worksheet function reference on the developer site? https://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php?title=Worksheet_Functions#Text Anyone know what Regex engine is running under the hood? @Vlado@Hugues Can either of you point me in the correct direction?

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Vlado Posted March 31, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 31, 2022 @Pat Stanford we use the C++ STL regex, specifically the ECMAScript syntax: https://www.cplusplus.com/reference/regex/ECMAScript/?kw=ECMAScript 1 Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Thank you Vlado. I tried to edit the Developer page on Worksheet Functions, but I can't get the link to display. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Vlado Posted March 31, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 31, 2022 this is auto generated page, but I can edit it until it gets regenerated. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Could the link be added to the autogeneration source. I think it would be valuable. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Vlado Posted March 31, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 31, 2022 yes, i already added it. only auto generation doesn't happen often, so i had to add it manually for now. 1 Quote Link to comment
