Unicode support for Regex?

un_pogaz · 05-26-2021, 03:56 AM

I just did the test:
For the text <p>:azerty: :être: :etre: :cœur:</p>, the search field :\w+: return only 2 results instead of the 4 expected.

Could you look and add a Unicode support please.
Without going to native support (which could be unstable), most of the Regex functions have a specific flag to enable (or disable) Unicode. A simple checkbox "Unicode search" would be sufficient and nice.

Also, sometimes there is a "case sensitive" flags for the Regex, so there would only 2 mode, "Character Matching | Regex" with a "case sensitive" checkbox.

(because otherwise I have to do this [\wÀÂÄÇÉÈÊËÎÏÔÖÙÛÜŸŒÆàâäçéèêëîïôöùûüÿœæ]+

)

(*UCP) enables unicode properties for the expression that follows.

(?i) is the built-in case-insensitivity flag for expressions that follow.
