Some expressions are available in Perspective-Python but not in the Monaco editor

[iscanegemen]

While using the expressions feature, I have noticed that there are some functions which are available in Perspective-Python, but not in the built-in monaco editor from Perspective-Viewer.

The list of functions that monaco editor does not recognize is the following:

• search, indexof, replace, replace_all, match, match_all, substring

There are several questions that I need help with:

1. As long as I can understand, all of these functions fall in the category of string processing. Are there other functions from, let's say numeric operators, that I cannot use only in the monaco editor.
2. Is there a way for me to use these functions in the monaco editor, or are there other functions which would replace the usage of these functions? For example how can we integrate a substring into our expression without using the substring operator?

These seem to work for me on 1.0.6. I believe an earlier version may have neglected to add these to monaco's validator - can you check again on e.g. blocks?

Thanks for the fast reply.

You are right, these operations work with the monaco editor from the link. I will try to update my version as soon as possible. Also, the monaco editor of Perspective's website may not be up-to-date as well.

You're right, the version on the website is out-of-date, we'll get the newest docs up this week.
