Clyde should support regular expression matching.

[thomasdziedzic]

It would be very convenient at times. One situation, I want to remove all lib32 packages from my system. The ideal solution would be if clyde supported something like: clyde -R lib32*

P.S. first! issue :)

I have considered this in the past and have yet to decide either way the viablity/necessity of implementing more than there already is. Both pacman and clyde to the same extent that pacman does, support regex to at least some degree.

This is also difficult because AUR doesn't support regex

[juster]

Support for ^ and $ regexp anchors has been added, thanks to "paradoq" for the patch. Clyde removes the ^ and $ from the string, searches the AUR for the resulting string, and filters the results using the anchored regexp. Until AUR includes support for regexp searches this is as good as it gets.
