What else can I say besides "Does [:space:] work with regular
expressions?"
I can use regular expressions, but I can not make it find a space
using this syntax, which is documented. I also tested [:digit:],
which does not work for me. [0-9] works just fine, however. In other
words, I can use some regular expressions, just not all. I see no
issues for this. Depending on the answer, I will open an issue.
I am using 2.02 on Linux. I investigated this based on a question here:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=154379#154379
please use [:space:]+ or [:space:]* as search term.
[:space:] by itself is a regular expression for "any white space"
(look up Wiki or Google what a white space is).
You cannot search for a regular expression by itself, in the same
sense as you cannot search for something as "between 3 and 6 times".
You always must give a parameter what you mean by using the regular
expression.
You can find all this in a very short list in Online Help. Be aware
that a complete discussion of "regular expressions" can fill a book of
500 pages, see amazon.com for that keyword.

OK, that does work for me... I searched for [:digit:]{1}. I have often
considered purchasing the regular expressions book because I have done
some pretty strange regular expressions using things such as look ahead...
What if I want to find anything that is NOT a [:space:]?
