-----------------------------------------

The mailing list is users@manifoldcf.apache.org.

The regular expressions are standard Java regular expressions.  The documentation is widely available.  You can also experiment with regular expressions in a java applet online at: https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~matuszek/General/RegexTester/regex-tester.html

> What type of regexs does manifold include and exclude support and also in general regex support?
> At the moment i'm using a web repository connection and an Elastic output connection.
>  I'm trying to exclude urls that link to documents.
>           e.g. website.com/document/path/this.pdf and website.com/document/path/other.PDF
> The issue i'm having is that the regex that I have found so far doesn't work case insensitive, so for every possible case i have to add a new line.
>             e.g.:
> {code:java}
> .*.pdf$ and .*.PDF$ and .*.Pdf and ... .{code}
> Is it possible to add documentation what type of regex is able to be used or maybe a tool to test your regex and see if it is supported by manifold ?
> I tried mailing this question to [user@manifoldcf.apache.org|mailto:user@manifoldcf.apache.org] but this mail adress returns a failure notice.
