Description mchase 2003-08-19 05:34:39 UTC 
1. For '?', "\" is given in the first sentence where it should be "?".
2. For '\<', the example gives "\>book" instead of "\<book".
3. For all character classes ([:xxx:]), the '?' allows finding 0 or 1 
characters, not a single character.  The '?' should be removed from "Character" 
column.

Suggested rewording will be attached later today.

Comment 11 mchase 2005-02-18 00:35:22 UTC 
I'm very glad to see the changes in 1.9m77.

One minor item, the character classes ([:alpha:] and so on) don't require a '?' 
after them.  As written, the examples mean 0-1 of the class.
Comment 12 jack.warchold 2005-03-02 13:50:26 UTC 
seen good in src680_m82
Comment 13 mchase 2005-03-06 01:16:38 UTC 
The error I mentioned 17 February still exists in 1.9.82.  The '?' after all the 
character classes ([:digit:]?, [:digit:]?, [:digit:]?, [:space:]?, [:print:]?, 
[:cntrl:]?, [:alnum:]?, [:alpha:]?, [:lower:]?, and [:upper:]?) will confuse any 
user who isn't already familiar with regular expressions.
Comment 14 stefan.baltzer 2005-03-11 10:18:01 UTC 
SBA->Mchase: The problem you described on Feb 17th does not belong here at all
after the initially described typos were fixed. Feel free to file another issue.

Pleae note: The development and documentation processes we have do not allow an
issue to "circle around forever as long as there is something left to change in
a certain area".

Thank you for your comprehension.
Comment 15 stefan.baltzer 2005-03-11 10:18:55 UTC 
SBA: Set to verified again.
Comment 16 stefan.baltzer 2005-03-11 10:19:33 UTC 
SBA: Closed.
