Setting Regular Expression Options

The “Options” tab contains checkboxes for all the regular expression options available. These are used by the code generator, so that appropriate settings are used in your code.

This is what the Options Tab looks like:

Each option is either enabled or disabled and is specified by clicking the checkbox next to the option name. The user interface uses the user-friendly English versions of the text. For example, the user interface has a checkbox for “Single Line”, however when this is used in code, it is generated as the RegexOptions.SingleLine option. To learn what code is generated for each option, hover over the checkbox and view the dynamic help for that option.

The “Clear All” button disables all the Regular Expression options.

The Options tab also has a text field for Notes. These are whatever notes you wish to associate with a regular expression. These are especially useful for Projects, in that you can maintain additional information about a regular expression. The Clear link allows you to clear the text out of this field.
