Regular expressions can be used for a lot of text processing things, like finding matches, replacing texts, splitting and joining strings. The syntax is quite complex, but it packs a lot of sophistication in just 4 functions.
Bennu has 4 functions anvailible: Split(), Join(), Regex() and Regex_replace(). They are very usefull in combination with the file and string functions, such as glob(), fgets(), fputs(), find() and Len(). With some creativity you can create text based spreadsheet formats or search and replace texts.
