Regular expressions wanted

defacto · 16th May 2006, 11:41

Hi all,

anybody knows of a regular expressions plug-in for NSIS? That would be really useful...

A lesser but still useful feature would be the possibility of performing multi-line text search & replace over the specified file.

Anybody knows how to do that?

I think you mean ${NSISDIR}\Include\LigicLib.nsh

${NSISDIR}\Include\WordFunc.nsh
${NSISDIR}\Include\TextFunc.nsh

There is no regular expression plug-in so feel free to write one!

I have written an NSIS plugin for regular expressions which is a thin wrapper around the PCRE regular expression library.

See the new NSISpcre plug-in page on the NSIS Developer Center Wiki for more details.
