Description Chris Beck CLA 2002-06-04 20:30:35 EDT 
I'd love to see regex support in the search and the replace fields
Comment 1 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-06-09 18:41:03 EDT 
agreed, we are waiting until we can move to JDK 1.4 which comes with regexp 
support.
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2002-07-02 10:37:14 EDT 
Are you talking about Find/Replace in the editor or about the global File/Text
Search feature?
Comment 3 Chris Beck CLA 2002-07-02 18:31:03 EDT 
Both would be nice but certainly the global File/Text Search feature is _way_ more important 
(i.e. implementing in the editor and not the global search would be mostly useless to me) ... I 
would imagine that implementing the functionality in the core package and providing it as a 
service to each editor as necessary would be perfect.
