===== RegexMinimal (Statement) =====
==== Format ====
**regexminimal** ( [[booleanexpressions|boolean_expression]] )\\
**regexminimal** [[booleanexpressions|boolean_expression]]
==== Description ====
The underlying Regular Expression library (QRegExp) does not support the use of a '?' to define if a repetition is greedy or lazy, but this property may be set for each RegExp use. The **regexminimal** statement will set the behavious for all statements using regular expressions until the termination of the program. The default value is //false// specifying the "greedy" nature.
====Example====
a$ = "abcdefgabcdefgabcdefg"
regexminimal false
print midx(a$,"e.*g")
regexminimal true
print midx(a$,"e.*g")
Displays
efgabcdefgabcdefg
efg
