Both Javascript 1.2 and Perl 5 support \w as:

JS \w, \W Match any word/non-word character
Perl \w matches alphanumeric, including _, \W matches non-alphanumeric

Interesting that the IBM documentation does not describe the RE
grammar supported by these APIs.

Simon, I tried the \w with and without REG_EXTENDED, no luck. I will
have to use the long hand version as quoted by Scott above.

Yes, I wish IBM would let us know with variation of Regex that it supports.
