Alain, this is a ridiculous statement. It doesn't even fit the context 
of the discussion.

My point was that users would not learn regular expressions.

And now you say that someone does not want to learn everything about all....

I think you made my point, but started your retort with "Not at all..."


-------------------------

In my software product, we tried to get users to use regular expressions 
for search dialogs, and it failed. I call from that experience. Users 
won't learn regular expressions, programmers already know them.
