Hi

I have never used regular expressions before. I have used some simple greps.

Previously, if I have wanted to search a file for a particular string, I have opened and loaded the file, used find and match with each of the lines, and have not been unhappy with the speed or flexibility.

Should I instead be using the eu regex now? Is there an advantage to this for simple searches? One of the comments in the docs is that it is a large subjuct. Is there an advantage to me learning it?

Chris
