Hi there.
First of all great job you've done there with RegEx Coach :)!
While I was testing some regular expressions for logcheck (a program to check logfiles e.g. syslog etc. :)), I noticed, that the expression [:alnum:] for alphanumeric characters (used with egrep) isn't recognized correctly. I think it's because CL-PPCRE is used, is that correct? Will there be alnum support in some way in the furure?

Thanks... :)

Yes.

Yes, I think so. It's not actually hard to do that (adding Unicode character classes) but some diligence and time is needed which I don't have at the moment. I'll probably add this to CL-PPCRE as soon as I need it for some project. Once CL-PPCRE has it the Regex Coach will get it as well.
Cheers, Edi.

I forgot: Clean patches to CL-PPCRE to implement this are welcome, of course... :)
