Mon 10 Oct 2022 07:46:43 AM UTC, comment #2: Ping, James? Can you confirm or deny whether POSIX regexes are compatible with PCRE? That is: whether valid POSIX EREs are also valid Perl-compatible regexes? (But not the other way around, of course.) |

Fri 30 Sep 2022 03:25:12 PM UTC, comment #1: If the regexes in the existing syntax/*.nanorc files are not compatible with PCRE, then adding support for PCRE is out of the question. Having two versions of the syntax files is madness.

I believe nano uses POSIX ERE for its find-replace feature. I would like to have Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) available as an optional alternative regex engine for find-replace.
