Session P3 on Wednesday 3:00-4:00 in Imperial A
Description:Regular expressions are a sophisticated but underutilized tool that can bring a great deal of power to your searches in Create Lists. Using the "matches" condition, it is possible to find patterns of data that cannot be isolated any other way. This presentation -- a slightly updated reprise of last year's -- will again cover a complete explanation of regular expression syntax and provide numerous practical examples. The focus will be on database maintenance, but applications in other areas will also be shown.
