Regular expressions in FM

[z178]

How I can use regular expressions for validation of my field data and for use in scripts?

Any Regex plugins for FM with support for backreferences?

Native filemaker validations isn't scripted, but based on calc'fields ...and in the case a series of CF's:

Might also want to have a look at this http://jensteich.de/regex-plugin/

Thanks you.

But the jensteich.de plugin is Windows only.

I found info about this plugin called zipp tools at filemaker magazine which can use pattern searching using perl !!
