Regex option - could you add more info/examples in readme? about list-card

The regex feature currently is just for display of the field in question, it does not filter actual entries based on any regex, currently.

Bummer. Still would like to know more about how it works, even if it doesn't solve my problem. I have to assume you had a good reason for including it as a feature in the original release and it seems a shame for me not to put it to use! :)

Here's an example from my personal configuration:

              - type: custom:list-card
                entity: sensor.upcoming_shows
                title: Upcoming Shows
                columns:
                  - title: ''
                    field: title
                    regex: >-
                      [0-9]{1,2}[Xx][0-9]{1,2}

Which takes a string like Manifest 1x06 "Off Radar" and gives everything after the season/episode numbers, i.e. the title of the show "Off Radar"

It's just 100% regex matching against a string

Thanks for taking the time. I can see where that would be useful - maybe you could include this example in the readme for others. There are plenty of lurkers who aren't comfortable admitting they don't know. I don't suffer from this delusion so I have no problems asking; I'd rather learn something. LOL

Again, I really appreciate this combo and I'm looking back at ideas I had for incorporating data that I couldn't do before. Thanks. If you ever consider adding filters (if that's even possible), please consider me a willing beta tester!
