<snip>The "*** Failers" string is not special. I put in some tests to make it easy to see which data is supposed to match and which is not. Some patterns match it; some do not. In this case, it doesn't match. Your test, however, looks different to the one in testdata1:
/^[W-c]+$/ WXY_^abc 0: WXY_^abc *** Failers No match wxy No match The case of the letters has been inverted somehow. <snip>I intentionally reversed the order to create an EBCDIC appropriate test. Thank you for the explanation about the '*** Failers' string I do not know what to do about the newlines.
