EASYPATTERNS - WHAT'S NEW?

We've added new keywords for common characters like [slash],
[colon], [hash], [pound], [percent], [star], [asterisk] and
[ampersand].

We've added [CSVfield] and [TABfield] keywords for handling
CSV and Tab-delimited data extracts.

We've introduced the EasyPattern Engine - a royalty free DLL
that you can include in your applications to make text matching
easier for your users. See
http://www.crystalsoftware.com.au/easypattern/engine.html

We've fixed the v1.1 handling of the [char] keyword, and we've
prevented the v1.2 stack overflow errors through better pattern
generation.

USE EASYPATTERN HELPER TO GENERATE PERL PATTERNS

You don't EVER have to learn horrible perl patterns!

If you use programs that support perl patterns, you can use
EasyPattern Helper to design and test first, then convert from
an easy to understand EasyPattern to a difficult to understand
perl pattern.

****************************************************************

DIPCRE COMPONENT FOR PERL PATTERN MATCHING

We use and recommend the DIPCRE component from The Delphi
Inspiration to provide the perl-compatible regular expression
engine used by EasyPattern Helper. See:
http://www.zeitungsjunge.de/delphi/

****************************************************************

USE EASYPATTERNS IN YOUR APPLICATION

If you're a developer, you can use the royalty-free EasyPattern
library in your own applications! See
http://www.crystalsoftware.com.au/easypattern/engine.html

- and let us know what you think of it!
