Yes! With great powers comes great responsibility. And regex is down that
road.

I use the posix regex ILE library with some RPG prototypes a lot and it
works great (except for some CCSID issues) .
It would be cool is it was Implemented natural for RPG like in JavaScript
and I will definitely wore for a RFE for that.

Write up an RFE if you think it is needed.

There are obviously a bunch of folks here who would vote for it -
including me - although he thought of teaching it is daunting.

I would definitely go with regex. It's shame that the "modern" RPG is
missing the regex native function and so you have to use SQL for the
purpose.
Still, much more flexible and common approach than dealing with SCANs
etc.

Cheers,
Vlad.
