Hi GSA and Sven,

Is it possible to have a Regex option in the filter/modify option?

This way we can customize with freedom to do any replacing/removing easily... Sometimes scrapped articles have many redundant info or characters that needs to be removed. E.g: "acknowledgement" section, "references", citation parts like [1]. [2], [3], or ¹ ² ³.  With regex, we can replace or remove them easily.

    @BlackSeng I agree! That's exactly what I'm working on right now for phone numbers in certain area codes

    That's great to hear! Implementing regex options would open up a lot of possibilities for customizing content cleaning. I can think of many use cases beyond just removing redundant info, such as extracting specific data or formatting text in a certain way. Would it be possible to get an update on when we can expect this feature to be available?
