<warning id="par_id651572973288601">When using functions where one or
more arguments are search criteria strings that represents a regular
expression, the first attempt is to convert the string criteria to numbers. For
example, ".0" will convert to 0.0 and so on. If successful, the match will not
be a regular expression match but a numeric match. However, when switching to a
locale where the decimal separator is not the dot makes the regular expression
conversion work. To force the evaluation of the regular expression instead of a
numeric expression, use some expression that can not be misread as numeric,
such as ".[0]" or ".\0" or "(?i).0". </warning>
