<p>Both plugins <code>AcolyteMasks.esl</code> and <code>AcolyteMasks.esp</code> will now have their locations displayed in LOOT.</p>
<h4>Regex within LOOT</h4>
<p>Now that we taken the first step to understand what regular expressions are, it should be noted that LOOT uses three different regex implementations in different places.</p>
<ul>
<li>Masterlist entry matching and the contains filter uses <code>C++</code>'s standard regex.</li>
<li>Condition evaluation uses the <code>Rust</code> regex library.</li>
<li>The search dialog uses <code>Qt</code>'s regex implementation.</li>
</ul>
<p>This means, that depending on where you want to use a regular expression within LOOT, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode">unicode characters</a> for character matching might be supported or not.</p>
<pre><code> - name: 'Example\.es(m|p)'
msg:
- <<: *useOnlyOneX
subs: [ 'Example Plugin' ]
condition: 'many("Example\.es(m|p)")'
</code></pre>
<p>The regex in the <code>name</code> field uses <code>C++</code>'s standard regex, which doesn't support unicode.</p>
<p>The regex in the <code>condition</code> field uses the <code>Rust</code> regex library, which supports unicode by default.</p>

<p>The search dialog uses <code>Qt</code>'s regex implementation, which doesn't support unicode characters by default (though support could be enabled).</p>

<p>The contains filter uses <code>C++</code>'s standard regex, which doesn't support unicode.</p>
<p>The following section will concentrate on the use of regex in the name field of plugin objects in the masterlist, so that we get a better understanding of what is possible while adding and updating plugin entries.</p>
<h4>Characters and Rules</h4>
<p>The following regular expressions can be used to match characters:</p>
