I think it would be very powerful to introduce Regex matching, or some simple pattern matching, for Rules.
Here is a mockup of what the UI might look like. The two bottom rules should achieve the same result with far less configuration.

Additionally, it would be very useful to be able to use captures from the regex in the actions. I have quite a few rules checking for
notes is DEPOSIT;XYZ;Electronic Funds Transfer -> set payee to XYZbecause my bank doesn't always set the payee. Though of course this would be more difficult to implement. I can take a look at some point but I don't exactly use JS often.@github-actions[bot] commented on GitHub (May 1, 2023):

From reading the code, Actual "contains" rules is already sql "like" function, which use "_" for single char wildcard, % for multiple character wildcard. I do not see any escape character so right now you would not able to search for literly % or _

Will this also be able to do a rule to remove, or partially remove, a string from notes or allow to use the groups in the output?
such as:
Payment via ATM DATE-TIME OP. 02-07-2024 12.17.00 GAMESTOP"->"[02-07-2024 12.17.00] GAMESTOP"@CrazyKidJack commented on GitHub (Sep 13, 2024):
I think the regex part of this has already been implemented for "Imported Payee" and "Notes".
It'd still ben ice to have it in the other fields.
And +💯 for the regex captures and backreferences idea

Not sure if it's related to this feature as well but having the ability to use RegEx match groups would be fantastic. For example, I have intra-account transfers marked with a 4-digit transfer code on the payee, and receiving transactions makes that available in the notes. So matching those numbers via regex would be a godsend.
