moderated JAWS - Can it use regular expressions (regex) pattern matching?
|
First, I'll admit I'm being lazy as I don't want to restart my machine just so I can test this in 40-minute mode, and I know at least one of the regulars here will know the answer of the top of their heads.
If I'm trying to create a pattern match and substitution pair, is there an option for regular expression syntax in the pattern match? I honestly cannot remember whether JAWS definitely supports this or not. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Hi, I don’t think JAWS dictionary manager will let you enter regular expressions. Cheers, Joseph

Joseph,
Thanks. Unless I hear otherwise then that means discussions of regex on the JAWS group is really entirely off topic because you can't use it in conjunction with JAWS. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Thanks Brian, and all, Maybe Jaws 2021 will and I will tax my brain then if it does.
