Re: [Swig-user] Help writing out typemap

[Daniel B. <Ble...@ma...>]

Hi Josh,

  Thanks much, I just read through the pythonappend feature and it will do
exactly what I want.  Do you know if there is any way to make this match any
method called set*?  Here's what works:

%feature("pythonappend") setName  %{ return self %}

Is there some way to change "setName" into a regular expression like
"set(.*)"?  I can't find any documentation on this.

Thanks again,
-dan
