Re: RegExp I give up

Hi,
I have the following regular expression:
^(MDB)[\w\W]*(Final.PDF|Final.pdf)$

This expression test as true against the following string:
MDB MO3-09 Final.PDF
at http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascriptexample.html

I run the same expression and string through the iSeries RegExp APIs and it fails(returns 1).

Does anyone have any idea where there is a online test that matches the IBM APIs or can figure out what I am doing incorrectly?

BTW: The OCEAN conference was great!

My program works with another expression to test email addresses.
^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,6}$

Thanks,
Spencer
