>>>>The title is my question. I downloaded GoFish (latest beta) and took a cursory look at the info about it. I saw examples of calling it from code but didn't notice anything about using it as part of the IDE. The reason I am interested in doing that is I would like to do something that doesn't seem possible in Code References (which I like a lot and use routinely).

>>Thanks, Gregory. Regular expressions came up on another issue at work recently and I made a mental note to learn more about them. Conceptually I know what they are but the syntax is Greek to me. Today I will dig in.

LOL -- who the heck wrote that thing, anyway? ;-) (For the benefit of others, it was Gregory).

Diving in now....
