Subject: [ruby-talk:8599] Character classes in Ruby regexp

Hi!

I've tried to use character classes in Ruby regular expressions, like:

 str = "d12345d"
 x = str.scan( /[:digit:]+/ )
 print x, "\n"

The above code displays dd. It seems that Ruby interprets [] as a the list
op and not the character class op. Or have I missed something? I looked in
the source (regex.c). Maybe the character class support has been turned off
in Ruby?

Best regards

Robert
