Hi all,

I'm not an expert of regular expressions and I'm just checking
how useful they can be. I did some tests with the find command
within the IDE, but I noticed some differences between the real
behaviour and what it is reported in the help page. That's why I
would appreciate if anyone can answer or give any hint about the
following points:

1) * and + don't work as the help page states, but as normal
regular expression engines. I mean, they are not referred to
what follows the string, but to the string itself.

2) Some patterns seem to work, though they are not reported. So
far, I tested \<, \>, (), ? and |. Is it correct?

3) Where can I find a complete list of patterns to be used
within the IDE?

I'm referring to BCB5 specifically, but I did some simple test
also under BCB6 with same results.

Thanks in advance,

Stefano.
