Regexps are too often closely associated with the word 'geek' nearby... A few remarks however: About the example “/exa*lead/ -exalead”: 1. a more straightforward regexp is simply /exaa+lead/ 2. the mix between regexp and word exclusion with minus gives me the uncomfortable feeling that it introduces a kind of new dialect of regexps :-( About the example “color” (American English) and “colour”: It is usually used to introduce the ? quantifier, /colou?r/ About dialects, when a MacUser, I appreciate a lot the very complete and sophisticated regexp treatment offered by TextWrangler, with a nice user manual. Worth having a look to define specs?
