Using $regexp(...) can be cumbersome at times, when one want to only check if a variable matches some regex pattern and use it as a boolean test. Current situation requires user to either: Use hard-to-manage scripting along the line of $if($strcmp(%var%,$regexp(%var%,'...',... (can be more annoyi…

[image] abelcheung: $ifmatch(string, pattern, if-true, if-false) -- working like $ifgreater and $iflonger isn't this more or less the scripting function implemented in $if() $if(x,y,z) if x is true, y is returned, otherwise z. only that you can specify in what respect the expression should …

isn't this more or less the scripting function implemented in $if() That's true, in the same sense of $ifgreater and $iflonger that are shorthands for $if($grtr(... and $if($grtr($len(... respectively.

I'd also really like a RegEx function which didn't do replacement, but was instead an input to the existing $if function, as mentioned. My vote is on that $regmatch which you have proposed. :+1:

So I think right now, the quick and dirty workaround would be: $if( $eql( $regexp(<input_field>, <matching_regex>, 'Yes'), 'Yes'), <value_if_true>, <value_if_false>)
