Regex - What engine does Demopad use & escaping characters

Post by awake33 » Fri Nov 15, 2013 9:24 pm

I've been able to get many instances of regex parsing to work as intended, but others based on syntax that works in RegexBuddy do not work in Demopad.

For example, escaping characters is not working for me. In most regex engines one must escape the '/' character like so, '\/'.
I'm trying to ignore a multitude of prefixes, such as ([^Movies:\/,^TVShows:\/,HDVault1:\/,HDVault2:\/]*). Then apply that returned value to a label and run it through another regex match before applying it to another label. This is the only way I can think of getting around the inability in Demopad to use regex variables such as '1$'.

Am I wrong to assume you can use regex in the data field of commands for feedback actions?
