[snip] Yes, that is how it should probably work in the future. For now, it is good to know that the ASCII equiv. seems to work in many cases. Note, I think you are right that it is high-time we start documenting WebDNA's grep. Grep in WebDNA is an old open-source "egrep" parser that has evolved over the years via several developers, ending with a couple changes from SMSI (which *was* documented.. ie. IgnoreCase). So, that is the main reason why there is not good documentation on it right now. I think this is a case where all of us developers will need to start writing down our findings on WebDNA's grep to start the documentation unfortunately. It's not the preferred way, but in this case, It's just going to have to be that way. One way we can do this is via interactive documentation. I know the "new" docs are not interactive, but since I have a new position with WSC, I will work on making that happen down the road a bit.
