Availability

query command
set command
current parameter
default parameter
install parameter

Scope

findText.regularExpression is scoped to the current view.
current.findText.regularExpression is scoped to the current view.
default.findText.regularExpression is globally scoped.
install.findText.regularExpression is globally scoped.

Syntax
query findText.regularExpression
set findText.regularExpression [ default | on | off ]
query current.findText.regularExpression
query default.findText.regularExpression
set default.findText.regularExpression [ install | on | off ]
query install.findText.regularExpression 
Parameters

default If you specify the default parameter for the set findText.regularExpression command, the current view will use the value of default.findText.regularExpression for the regular-expression setting for the findText command.
on If you specify the on parameter for the set findText.regularExpression command, the findText command will use regular-expression pattern matching while searching within the current view. If you specify the on parameter for the set default.findText.regularExpression command, the findText command will use regular-expression pattern matching while searching within all of document views that have findText.regularExpression set to default.
off If you specify the off parameter for the set findText.regularExpression command, the findText command will not use regular-expression pattern matching while searching within the current view. If you specify the off parameter for the set default.findText.regularExpression command, the findText command will not use regular-expression pattern matching while searching within all of document views that have findText.regularExpression set to default.
install If you specify the install parameter for the set default.findText.regularExpression command, all of the views that have findText.regularExpression set to default will use the value of install.findText.regularExpression to determine whether the findText command should use regular-expression pattern matching to perform its searches.

Description

If you do not specify any of the parameters for the set findText.regularExpression command, default is assumed. If you do not specify any of the parameters for the set default.findText.regularExpression command, install is assumed.

The query current.findText.regularExpression command returns on if the findText command is using regular-expression pattern matching to perfrom searches within the current view.

default	If you specify the default parameter for the set findText.regularExpression command, the current view will use the value of default.findText.regularExpression for the regular-expression setting for the findText command.
on	If you specify the on parameter for the set findText.regularExpression command, the findText command will use regular-expression pattern matching while searching within the current view. If you specify the on parameter for the set default.findText.regularExpression command, the findText command will use regular-expression pattern matching while searching within all of document views that have findText.regularExpression set to default.
off	If you specify the off parameter for the set findText.regularExpression command, the findText command will not use regular-expression pattern matching while searching within the current view. If you specify the off parameter for the set default.findText.regularExpression command, the findText command will not use regular-expression pattern matching while searching within all of document views that have findText.regularExpression set to default.
install	If you specify the install parameter for the set default.findText.regularExpression command, all of the views that have findText.regularExpression set to default will use the value of install.findText.regularExpression to determine whether the findText command should use regular-expression pattern matching to perform its searches.
