Actually, what they support is whatever comes with the PCRE engine, and is supported fully for matchText/matchChunk (AFAIK), whereas it seems like replaceText only seems to support a portion of PCRE (although I could be wrong). > A problem is that their documentation doesn't match what their > functions. True, but they *do* say "Revolution implements regular expressions compatible with the PCRE library. For detailed information about regular expression elements you can use with this function, see the PCRE manual at <http://www.pcre.org/man.txt>." And given the fact that regular expressions is a lengthy topic, I'm not too surprised that they have not explained them in detail. > I was surprised to see Mark use \s and \S as they are not mentioned > in the documentation (which hasn't been updated to follow updates in > the function in version 2.5). Full information about these special > codes can be found below. See above - I think they just want people to read the docs at pcre.org.
