Hi There,

For all noobs like me I would like to know wich Flavor of Regular Expressions is spoken here.  
It seems they all differ ...Ruby, Python, Javascript etc

With this information we could Google a online reg expression tester and use it to test our expressions.

Maybe the experts already use one?

Kind Regards

Hi I have installed RegexMagic in the hope to test the regular expressions in a better way.  
I'm ready to crawl through the sand here..

Can anybody shed a light on which Flavor mp3tag uses?  
When I test RegexMagic none of the dialects seems to work.

Kind regards
