Classes such as \s are not a standard part of regular expressions


I'm not so sure I agree with this statement.

I believe that perl 2 did evolve support for \d \w \s (and their opposites
\D, \W and \S) in 1988, but I thought it was pretty standard now:

python regex supports it
java regex supports it
javascript regex supports it
DB2 SQL regex supports it.
Ruby regex supports it.
Go regex supports it.

I wasn't aware of what iSphere was using for it's searches - Thomas has
told me that it uses the FNDSTR service program.
I haven't had a chance to look at that implementation to see what it does
and doesn't support.
