I am using Dcount() to count the occurrences of some strings in a spreadsheet 
in OpenOffice Calc 2.0.3. I am using a regular expression to find the string 
I want. My regular expression is

\[['a-zA-Z', ]*'Board Member'(, )?['a-zA-Z']*(, )?\]|Board Member

It works for all of these test cases:
['Volunteer', 'Board Member', 'Coach']
Board Member
['Volunteer', 'Manager', 'Board Member']

but not this one:
['Board Member', 'Volunteer', 'Coach']

I had thought this part of the regular expression ['a-zA-Z', ]* would take 
care of this case with the "zero" part of the definition of the "*". But it 
doesn't. Do I need to add another "or" term for this case, or is there a way 
to modify my regular expression to handle this case.

BTW, I tried using [:alpha:] instead of [a-zA-Z], and dcount() did not find 
any matches. Is [:alpha:] not working - it is listed in the documentation as 
a valid regular expression.

Thanks!
