Regex modifications

Regex is supported in searches, however some modifications have been made to make it more useful in the context of all bytes rather than just the human-readable ones.

Byte Wildcarding

Use a `.` to indicate a wildcard within a byte.

Examples

This will find all bytes from \x90 to \x9F:


                        find \x9.

This can also be done in binary:


                        find \b1001....

....and doesn't need to be sequential


                        find \b100100.0

will match \x90 & \x92
