Subject: [users] Some difficulty with regular expressions

I'm using OOo 2.1, and Windows XP, SP2.

I had some trouble getting certain regular expressions to work. Here's
an example, taken from Help:

[:space:]   Represents a white space character such as space.

When I try this, I get the message that the search key was not found,
even though there are lots of spaces in the document I was searching.

Then somewhat out of desperation, I tried:
[ ]   (brackets with a single space in between)

This worked!

I then tried some other expressions, taken from Help, such as:
[:alnum:]   Represents an alphanumeric character ([:alpha:] and
[:digit:]).

And again, this did not find anything.

I believe that I used [:space:] previously, with OOo 2.0.4 or 2.0.3, and
it worked like it was supposed to.

Can anyone confirm what I'm seeing?
