Using regexp on file extensions

[Neil]

Our source control system decorates file extensions with version numbers. Eg. “my_file.cxx#2”. Unfortunately this prevents emeditor recognizing the file as a C++ file so I have to manually select the C++ configuration. While this isn’t too bad when it’s just one file, it does become tiresome after opening a few of them.

It would be really nice if I could just define the associated extension to be “CXX*” and have emeditor automatically select my C++ configuration for these files.

While it is not regexp, I added the feature that allows you to use wild cards for the extension list in Association tab of configuration properties. This feature will be included in the next release. Thanks!

I recently used a Windows text editor that would recognise file types by running a regex on the text at the start of each file opened.
This was particularly useful to me as I occasionally edit ATLAS file that do not use an extension in file names.
