http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=1922 ------- Additional Comments From ashok.malhotra@oracle.com 2005-09-14 13:26 ------- Amended proposal based on Michael Kay observation that whitespace characters are not allowed after the backslash and so we should strip them out if they do occur. REVISED PROPOSAL x: If present, whitespace characters in the regex are removed prior to matching with one exception: whitespace characters within character class expressions (charClassExpr) are not removed. This can be used, for example, to break up long regex' into readable lines. Examples: fn:matches("helloworld", "hello world", "x") returns true fn:matches("helloworld", "hello[ ]world", "x") returns false fn:matches("hello world", "hello\ sworld", "x") returns trueReceived on Wednesday, 14 September 2005 13:26:53 UTC
