Filter site content in Omniweb using regular expressions
Authored by: VEGx on Aug 15, '03 05:27:29AM

I may be wrong in this specific case, but if you use -regex with `find' then "\/ads\/" would find "/ads/" and "/ads/" only! that means it has to start with "/" the second letter has to be "a" etc. ".*\/ads\/.*" finds all "/ads/" even if there are other characters before or after it, e.g., "b/ads/" or "/ads/x"
