The simplest use for this would be to list all pages with a title beginning with a certain letter of the alphabet, but because it's a regular expression the possibilities are almost endless.
Select by title/parent, using a regex (ListPages)

I've added "Select by parent" to this wish because I'd also like to use a regex there. It would mean I can select by a parent page's category instead of just by it's full name, which is something I need to be able to do for a new section of my website.

Another note in addition to this wish: Just having this available as part of the API would be good enough for me. Not necessarily any need to have it as part of the ListPages module.

I second this wish, because I am looking for a way to list pages starting with letter A, or B or C…
This way its easier to find a certain page, without going through 30+ next buttons.
Bump!

In SQL's there is the püossibilities for place-holders like % or ?, *., ! a.s.o) … why can we not use such filters direcrly for "parent" , "title" or "PAGE"- name ( fullname) ?
example: parent="A%%" ( to fill 3 characters)
My usage now without tagging to show an index per starting letter:
http://handbook.wikidot.com/en:index
Have a look on the Letter "A" = http://handbook.wikidot.com/en:a
is working with the title of the "Current" page ("A" )and range="after"

I wouldn't mind a simpler syntax than RegEx, but having the ability to filter our pages (and parents) by title would be great no matter how it's implemented. Others have wanted the ability to target a single page with ListPages and this wish would accomplish that as well.
While the handbook method works well, there's no way to filter the single starting letter and not display subsequent pages that start with a different letter (except maybe "Z").

I agree, I have always found anything but very simple regex to be a bit of a mystery. Something simpler, like helmutis's suggestion of SQL wildcards which are easy to understand would be good.

I have a use case for this. Compiling information about popular and favorite songs, and I'd like to be able to pull out lists of songs based on words in the title. Currently I'm implementing this by making tags for the titles. I'll need wildcards because English is complicated.

Interesting result from another wish:
wish:289 - wish for a page selector by %%name%%
[http://feedback.wikidot.com/wish:766 wish:766 ListPages select ONE page by ONE "fullname"}
Fullname and name = ".." is now in test phase and coming with the selection name="abc*" ( try it!)

This is not yet official, but working at the moment n the testphase.
