Is there an interface giving full access to the incorporated RegEx engine (ICU or a simplified derivative?), not only to the parameters controlled via a "F&R" dialogue?
(Alternatively:)
Is there an extension supplying additional functions for Calc which use RegEx on an advanced level, doing an efficient "F&R" based on RegEx, an enhanced
Code: Select all
SUBSTITUTE.REGEX(TextToWorkOn, SearchFor, ReplaceWith, OptionsAndFlags)
, and
Code: Select all
SEARCH.REGEX(RegExToSearchFor, TextToSearchIn, ArrayOfMatches)
where ArrayOfMatches at least gives the positions and lengths of matches and the information created when parentheses were used in the RegEx, e.g.?
Is there an external program based on the ICU RegEx engine, controllable in a handy way from user code for AOO (or LibO)?
On Windows 10: LibreOffice 24.2 (new numbering) and older versions, PortableOpenOffice 4.1.7 and older, StarOffice 5.2
