CF's native RegEx support comes from a library created by a third party who
is unknown to me. It conforms to POSIX in some things and not others,
supports some functionality but not others; to be short, it's frustrating.
There is a new custom tag, thank goodness, available through the Developer's
Exchange, CFX_PCRegEx, that supports Perl style RegEx's and is supposed to
be fully POSIX compliant, hallelujah.

Subject: What sort of RegEx does Cold Fusion Support?
Just a quick question as I prepare to write a tempalte that will (hopefully)
save me days of mindnumbing work:
How well does ColdFuison support Regular Expressions? Does it use a perl or
perl-ish model, strict POSIX standards, or some weird, homegrown flavor?
Basically I want to kow if I use a regular expression that works with, say .
. . grep, will it provide the desired functionality?
Thanks,
Chris Martin.
