Is it possible to ignore certain symbols in search in 1.5?

[JTCGiants56]

For example, if I paste something with an "&" or a "/", can I have the search automatically ignore them?

Perfect thanks!

Hello void, would it be possible to ignore the "!" exclamation as well? When I add this to the regex it no longer lets me paste anything because it is the NOT character. Is it possible to still keep this as the NOT character, but ignore it within the names of files when doing a search?

[void]

Please try the following search_edit_paste_format:

<regexreplace:<regexreplace:$newtext:,"[&/]","">,"(.)!","$1">

<regexreplace:<regexreplace:$newtext:,"[&/]","">,"(.)!","$1">

Great thanks

Apologies void, one more issue.

If I add the quote symbol (") to the ignore group, I start running into issues.
Here is the line -

Code: Select all

<regexreplace:<regexreplace:$newtext:,"[&/#-%"]","">,"(.)!","$1">

[void]

Easiest way to escape the double quote:

<regexreplace:<regexreplace:$newtext:,"[&/#-%\x22]","">,"(.)!","$1">
