Best Text Editor / Re: best text editor was killed by Borland
« on: May 14, 2014, 12:42 AM »have a look here, for a little regex comparison of some editors:
I'm the author of the Zeus editor referenced on that page and I just read that link again. Brings back memories :)
To this day I'm not really sure what noman9607 meant when he wrote this:
Boxer and EmEdit have full PCRE and .NET capable regex engines respectively.
..
If Zeus would upgrade to modern regex standards I could do the same with zeus.
As far as I can remember, the Zeus of that vintage had the same regexp engine it has today (be it the current engine has had a few updates since) and that engine is PCRE :huh:
Unfortunately he never posted an example of the regexp that was giving him trouble, so it's hard to know exactly what was causing the issue :(
