[TYPO3-dev] Use ereg(), not stristr():

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

i would like to split that issue into 2 steps.

While i'm rearranging the options in OB i would like to change only label in 
first step.
(i think entering reg. expressions are the very advanced method, and those 
know that it work with that option)

see screenshot at [1]

In a second step i would use Masi's proposal and enhance the search.

Did anyone noticed the bugs remarked in source and in toDo.txt? :)

vg Steffen
