Regex for filenames in plugin.xml [message #328253]

Hello

I've developed a visual XML editor for different XML files with the same
structure. At this moment I attach the editor by placing "*.xml" as the
value of the filenames within plugin.xml and it works fine.

All the files that have to use the editor by default begin with
description and are followed by a digit. For example description1,
description27,...

Is there a way to use a regex in the filenames attribute in plugin.xml so
that only the files according to the given expression will have the editor
by default?

Kind regards

Xnni

No, that's not possible. If your XML has some specific markup then you
could register your own content type that uses a content describer to
find matching files.
