Which regular expression engine does Path Mapping use?

Hi! Looking into complex regex for path mapping and need to know which engine (and version) the regular expressions in the Mapped Paths dialog uses. On DL 8.0.17 (just upgraded from 8.0.13)

Thanks!

Also, how is the regex implemented? Is it something like re.sub()? Can I use things like named capture groups in the replace string?

Thanks!

Sadly, capture groups won’t work in Deadline. I believe we’re using what’s built into C# for the classic path mapping.

For the fancier path mapping we have in Modo, Maya (via ‘dirmap’ method) and C4D Batch, I’m not even certain the regex feature works there. I’ll confirm and file a bug.

We’ve already got a ticket for RE capture groups, so I’ll put your name over there.
