Introduction
Regex is a way to search a subtext within a text. It will allow you to search more complex things and will give you more freedom on what to highlight. It however is a bit complex to fully understand in one go. See the Examples for some easy to use regex strings. The regex will be case insensitive by default ingame.
A helpful tool in testing your regex string is this site here.
