regexp-wont-export-number-00

007 has the same value as 7. Numbers are all about value. Therefore, 007 

the same thing can't be different (or it wouldn't be the same)... off with the zeros. Like heads rolling. That may seem shallow and brutal and stupid for us artists, but for a computer, it's sublime.

i was wondering if it was possible to keep the possiblity of having other extensions than jpg, it is (regexp is complex)

but no success trying to get that 007 as a backreference. Is @tosymbol 1 only working on the substitutions result ? it is a bit weird...

Ah yes, much better... and you're correct.. tosymbol only works for substitutions. :/

"When enabled, output from the left outlet of the object will be a single symbol. When disabled, output from the left outlet of the object will consist of a list of individual elements."

But there must be some way to specify everything before the last / and after the . as a single group to be substituted. But I couldn't figure it out.. hence my clunky use of two objects to handle it.

Should I generally assume that any element proceeding .* will reference the 

 of that element? In this case, there were multiple slashes. Some of my initial attempts generated weird slicing at the first or middle slash.

Hah Ak, it is nice, though i don't get it... where is the "capture group" for the substitution in what you just made ? and how comes a "or" operator does the trick... from my undertstanding the "or" here matches "/" or "\." .. or does it mean "substitute anything that is either '.*/' or '\..*' " ???

edit : oh, ok, so it seems to be that indeed, and it works also if reversing the '.*/' and '\..*'. Interesting !

really nice !!
thanks to all !!!


Vichug, my friend, what is this "either" of which you speak? :)

regexp won't export "number 00"
