Replace regular expressions

[Graham]

Find and Replace is now a very powerful tool especially its Find in Files capabilities. It would be even more powerful if regular expressions could be applied to Replace as well as Find. Eg, in Find a dot equals any character; a dot could also equal the existing character in Replace. Find ".../..Replace "..." would find and replace "80.7" with "80", "165.3" with "165" to correct a situation where a third party code generator put floating point image dimensions on many thumbnails on many pages. (Some more expansive explanations and examples of the regular expressions would also be helpful.)

I have just found a product called Advanced Find and Replace (AFR) which does all this at http://www.abacre.com/. It is very comprehensive in both find and replace functionality. They say they use an open source regular expression engine of Andrew Sorokin at http://www.abacre.com/. This solves my problem although it would be much better integrated into WeBuilder.

This is already in the list of suggestions (which has hundreds of items), when the turn comes, we will try to implement it. Thanks!
