Allow regular expressions as tags

XMLWordPrintable

      I tried to use parantheses '(', ')' when searching for open tasks with the Task Scanner Plugin (v4.35). I need the parantheses to group my regex and to apply * operator. For example, I want to search for "TODO([A-Za-z0-9])*. This delivers zero reults, also I have TODOs matching this regex. My actual regex is more complicated, so I definitely need parantheses to group it, this is just a simple example.
      If I escape the parantheses, I get hundreds of thousands of results. So this can't be the correct approach. How can I get grouping and using * in my regex to work?

          Actually the plug-in has no "official" support for regexps yet. It feeds the string to a regular expression matcher internally. Up to now it was supposed that the tag itself will be a plain string.
