SublimeText
(from: https://sublime-text-unofficial-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/search_and_replace/search_and_replace_overview.html)Sublime Text uses the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) engine from the Boost library to power regular expressions in search panels.
I know 'SublimeText' is an expensive experience. But there is a "trial period" until the end of which you can use the software to your heart's content. Find out how long the trial period is! (BTW: I did purchase a license!)
Will add to the list as my research progresses (2023-07-13 10:19:16 Central European Time (CET) )
