I'd be careful there,
For any whitespace character, sometimes it's [[:space:]] and sometimes it's
[:space:].
As far I can make out by trial-and-error, you normally use the
double-brackets, but when you are using [] to group characters, you only use
single-brackets around in the POSIX char:
[^[:space:]_]
As i say, I have just come to this conclusion myself, haven't seen it
documented anywhere. I have found that using the double-brackets inside
grouping brackets doesn't give the results I have intended (no nice error
messages though).
Best of luck,

Allaire uses something terrible like [[:space:]] and [[:print:]]
instead of \s
for its backslash type stuff. It makes some Regex, huge but it is
functional.

What you are experiencing is Allaire's poor choice of third-party RegEx
engines. I'd call Customer Service and say something. I've been doing it for
awhile without much luck but, some backup couldn't hurt.

Subject: REGEX for a space
I am looping over a list that contains the names of mailing lists. The
delimiter in the loop is the carriage return. I am trying to identify the
position of the first space in the index. I thought the regex for a space
was /s, but that is not working here as the REFind always returns a zero.
This is what one line of the list looks like:
BREASTCANCER 1999-12-30 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
and here is my code:
<cfloop list="#logfile#" delimiters="#Chr(13)##Chr(10)#" index="line">
<cfset linelength = Len(line)>
<cfset CurrentlistwordSTART = REFind('([A-Za-z]+)', line, "TRUE")>
<cfset SpacePositionAfterFirstWord = REFind('\s+', line)>
SpacePositionAfterFirstWord:
<cfoutput>#SpacePositionAfterFirstWord#</cfoutput><br>
<cfset daypositionstart = SpacePositionAfterFirstWord + 1>
<cfset daypositionend = daypositionstart + 10>
<cfset CurrentListList = Left(line, linelength)>
<cfset CurrentList = Left(line, SpacePositionAfterFirstWord -1)>
<cfset currentday = Mid(line, daypositionstart, daypositionend)>
CurrentDay: <cfoutput>#currentday#</cfoutput><br>
</cfloop>
I don't really need the currentlistwordStart variable since the word is
always the first thing on each new line. My problem is the 2nd REFind:
REFind('\s+', line), which always gives me a zero.
The files I am parsing are the ListServ log files, in case anyone is
curious. They don't have any type of log analysis available so I am trying
to create my own.
Thanks
