Pattern Matching In Tasker

When using Tasker, you should note that it support two mode for pattern matching - "Simple Matching" and "Regular Expressions Matching".

Although Pent has explain the two mode in user guide online. It seems that there's something unclear, for example, the so-called "some other places" in user guide. So I will summarise and compare the two mode.

Simple Matching:
Action -> Task -> If (condition): Matches / Doesn't Matches
Action -> File -> List Files

Regular Expressions Matching:
Action -> Task -> If (condition): Matches Regex / Doesn't Matches Regex
Action -> Variable -> Variable Search Replace

to be continued...


Reference:
1."Pattern Matching" part in user guide online: En, CN
2. Regex online tester: here, RegExr
