Hi Celia,
I think you are correct to delete the sentence mentioning the [:lower:]
and [:upper:] character classes - these may refer to other flavours of
regex (such as the IEEE POSIX standard). There is no equivalent sentence
in the 7.0 Calc Guide.
For your information, the paragraph you refer to makes the point that
regular expression searches within functions are always case
insensitive, which at the time of LO 6.2 was true. However the behaviour
is different in current versions of Calc, following the implementation
of Bug 78840
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78840>. Now it is
possible to search in functions using regular expressions in a case
sensitive mode, using the appropriate flag option within the regular
expression.
Regards,
Steve Fanning

Hi, guys. I am helping in the translation to Spanish of Calc Guide 6.2
In chapter 7 about Functions and Formulas (page 244) there is a
sentence like this:
«This case-insensitivity also applies to the regular expression
structures ([:lower:]) and ([:upper:]), which match characters
irrespective of case.»
But these structures [:lower:] and [:upper:] are not described in ICU
project, which is the source for regex in Calc. Maybe I am mistaken,
but I think that sentence must be go off. At least in the Spanish 6.2
(and later) version I'm planning no to include it, unless some one
advice me against it.
