Assuming you want to match a character that is not a digit between 1 and 5
and not an alphabetic character try RE re = new RE("[^1-5a-zA-Z]"); I'm
guessing the compiler is complaining because you are trying to nest the
character class [:alpha:] inside the outer character class.

Subject: POSIX Class in Class: [^1-5[:alpha:]]
Hi,
I want to do something like:
RE re = new RE("[^1-5[:alpha:]]");
but I get:
org.apache.regexp.RESyntaxException: Syntax error: Mismatched class
at org.apache.regexp.RECompiler.syntaxError(RECompiler.java:253)
at org.apache.regexp.RECompiler.terminal(RECompiler.java:875)
at org.apache.regexp.RECompiler.closure(RECompiler.java:942)
at org.apache.regexp.RECompiler.branch(RECompiler.java:1151)
at org.apache.regexp.RECompiler.expr(RECompiler.java:1203)
at org.apache.regexp.RECompiler.compile(RECompiler.java:1281)
at org.apache.regexp.RE.<init>(RE.java:490)
at org.apache.regexp.RE.<init>(RE.java:475)
Any idea why this is wrong and how I can achieve this? Thanks.
Marc.
