FWIW I don't think \d is a basic regexp so as I would expect the perl mode to
work and it does:
test2-aaa12345W
sub(.*(\\d{5}).*, \\1, test2,perl=TRUE)
[1] 12345
Yet I agree that if should either fail (i.e. return the unmodified string) or
return 12345.

Two Q's:
A) Is this supposed to happen with perl-mode?:

thth68.9\nW/thth26m/th
sub(.*(\\d{5}).*, \\1, test, perl=TRUE)
[1] 88958\nW/thth26m/th
sub(.*([0-9]{5}).*, \\1, test, perl=TRUE)
[1] 88958\nW/thth26m/th
Looks to me that a period is being
