Re: Module text:matches-regex() - does it exist?

Hi Espen,

I did a little digging, and while Andrzej committed
text:matches-regex() to trunk on February 2, 2010 [1], his commit
wasn't ported to the 1.4.x stable branch in time for the August 15,
2010 release of 1.4.1 and in fact still isn't in the 1.4.x branch [2].
 Given this, your best bet at the moment is either to use fn:matches()
[3] or more simply fn:ends-with [4], or to upgrade to 2.0 Tech
Preview.

Cheers,
Joe
