Hi all,

By clicking on a link in one of these forum topics, I've just discovered that the underlying syntax with mp3tag regexp is all based on PERL. I never knew! ![:rolleyes:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/3a79e8b0b7d169b30216785521d7c6f4f895c421.gif ":rolleyes:")

Can someone give me a URL that lists the syntax. I've browsed [Perl's own page](http://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/pod/perlre.html) but is there an easier-to-understand one somewhere?

Thanks
