already.
RegEx support is quite similar to Perl nowadays (was not always that
way).

Thanks, Ben(s)
How long have these been supported? I can't even remember how long
I've been writing out regexes long-hand in CF, thinking that the
shorthand classes weren't supported. I've known that POSIX bracket
expressions worked, but the class shorthand is (welcome) news to me.
Also, would you happen to know to which language's flavor of regex is
CF most similar?
Thanks,
Jamie
P.S. I do have the O'Reilly Regex book, so I have a reference for the
standard stuff.
