What's new in WildGem 2.10
Nov 23, 2022
- Bug fixes:
- The Load/Save project feature is working again (broke in v2.00). When loading a project, it'll now respect the Regex text, where it didn't ever before.
- A few tooltips have had their documentation corrected to be in line with version 2.
- The Replace field now hides line numbers when "Multiple line functions" is not ticked.
New in WildGem 2.00 (Nov 14, 2022)
- A brand new dropdown menu with tons of examples to help you get started (and for common operations), including a help box for each example.
- The checkboxes: "Allow use of n t etc." and "Treat input line by line" are now inversed functionally. The new names are "Disallow escape chars" and "Treat lines as group" respectively.
- Ticking / unticking "allow use of n t etc." now works on the fly
- "Find previous" button added to complement "Find next"
- Opening Wildgem afresh now starts with a clean sheet.
- "n" etc. now works in Replacement field if "Multiple line functions" and "Allow use n t etc." is ticked
- The Replace and Regex panel now support numbered lines when "Multiple line functions" is ticked
- The Replace and Regex panel now support (multiple) undo/redo.
- Bug fix: Using multiple line functions now respects "Treat input line by line" if that is ticked.
- You can now adjust font sizes for the regex and Find/Replace sections, via -/+ buttons.
- Fixed crash when trying to copy empty Regex field.
- Almost all "Many" symbols are 'greedy' by default, when they were 'lazy' before. This allows for shorter WildGem syntax in many cases, and is also more parallel with Regex syntax. As a result, the previous "Greedy" symbol (→) has now been changed to "Lazy" and looks like this: ⌦. Most of the time, this won't make any difference to your expressions, but it's something to be aware of.
- The main "Many chars" wildcard symbol has now been split into two characters now: ✪ and ✿. The old one is ✪ and pretty much operates the same as before (apart from where it's used at the end of the expression). The new one ✿ is a "greedy" version of the old one.
- You can now hide the Wildgem search panel (say if you only want to stick with Regex syntax).
- Increased tab size.
- Removed pointless restriction to add newlines and letters within a charset.
- Avoided crash when searching from an emty Find field.
New in WildGem 1.60 (Oct 11, 2021)
- Fixed resolution issues for 125+% scaling and non-standard/XP-style Windows scalings. The Optional symbol is now more compatible with other operators. The Lf end of line code is now default and used when loading a text file, unless you tick the new option "Don't force LF". The NewLine symbol has been split out of the Start/End symbol for more versatility. Icons have been rearranged and improved documentation.
New in WildGem 1.50 (Sep 22, 2021)
- This free program keeps getting better. First off is a big bug fix: Many people don't have the Arial Unicode MS font (which comes with Excel 2013), so I added alternative fonts so that many of you can still get to see the Wildgem symbols properly. Also added the ability to load and save projects. There's a new button too - the "Optional" symbol which allows you to express a character or word that can be matched but doesn't HAVE to be (it's equivalent to the Regex '?'). Finally, a super new feature called "Multiple line functions" allows you to express multiple regex/Wildgem commands in one sweep. This is much nicer than trying to cram a bunch of Regex into a single line/command. There have been numerous other tweaks to the GUI and documentation.
New in WildGem 1.32 (Jul 15, 2019)
- Fixed missing scroll bar for non-100% scaling modes in Windows. Adjusted margin padding for separation clarity from main text, and also fixed issues to do with non-Realtime updating. Finally, the window can now be resized from the edges.
New in WildGem 1.31 (Mar 25, 2019)
- Fixed WildGem window GUI issues for non-100% scaling modes in Windows.
New in WildGem 1.30 (Mar 21, 2019)
- Regex queries beginning with .* or .+ (which equates to Wildgem syntax ✪ and ★↺ respectively) are now much, much faster to calculate due to the caret symbol that's automatically inserted to the start of the Regex expression. Also, input and output length, cursor position and number of lines are shown, and line margin numbers are now standard.
New in WildGem 1.25 (Mar 12, 2018)
- Adjusted colour of inactive Find field when Regex entered. Added "Clear all" button. Fixed resolution issues.
New in WildGem 1.24 (Sep 20, 2017)
