Regular Expression
WindTerm supports using named capturing in the matching regular expression patterns, and captured groups can be referenced when generating the return value. For example, a Run Command trigger can be used to launch vi with the filename and line number based on a regular expression that includes two named groups:
| Output | File “test.py”, line 5, in <module> |
|---|---|
| Regex | File “(?<file>\S+)”.*line (?<line>\d+) |
| Command | vi ${file} +${line}\n |
