Feature request: add support for regular expressions in the Strings tool filter

[Tux528]

Hi!

First, thank you so much for your great software! 😁

I regularly use the Strings tool for reverse engineering Windows software, and it'd be amazing to filter the strings with anchors (like ^, $, or \b), or wildcards (*, .*, .+, etc.). The idea behind such a feature would be to be able to search for strings with a specific pattern, like installation switches, that start with a backslash (like /SILENT or /VERYSILENT, you know).

At my knowledge, DIE currently searches for strings literally and doesn't interpret any special characters, so you need to export the file strings and process them in a text editor like Notepad++, which is very annoying and tedious. I don't think full support for all regex types will be really useful here, but it could be in some very specific cases.

Don't hesitate to tell me what you think! 😉

I didn't say anything, it was added in version 3.10 as mentioned in issue #229, but it hasn't been written in the changelog. 🤣
