regular expressions

Post by slaviŠa neŠiĆ »

Hi,

After searching documentation, I still cannot find the syntax for regular expressions. They are (claimed to be) supported in Advanced / Bookmarks / GenerateBookmarksFromPageText, but with no further explanation. More then a year ago there has been promises in https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... ion#p88790 that the option will be developed fully, but I see no documentation about it now yet.

What happened with that option, does it work, what exactly does it support (or not), where could be the documentation?

Hello slaviŠa neŠiĆ,

As my colleague Sasha posted here:
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... [quote]For our regular expressions pattern, we're using ECMAScript regular expressions pattern syntax. Here's the link with detailed guide to it:
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/regex/ECMAScript/[/quote]So please do take a look at the above.

Cheers,
Stefan

Thank you very much.

Above the "Match Text Pattern" there is the option "Allow multiple bookmark titles" that I can't quite understand: is it related to MatchTextPattern? How it is intended to be used?
