xypcre is a collection of user-defined functions that provides PCRE support to XYplorer scripts.
PCRE is an advanced form of Regular Expressions that allows for many advanced regexp operations not supported by XYplorer's built-in regexp engine.
xypcre functions allow XYplorer to use an advanced Regular Expression engine instead of the limited
VB implementation of regexmatches()
and regereplace()
. This is achieved by offloading regexp operations
to a helper utility, xypcre.exe
(currently written in AutoIt3).
