in thread words with numbers in them

I am trying to understand your regex, but i cannot understand why it is :

$names =~ /(\S*\d\S*)/g )

in stead of:

$names =~ /(\S*\d+\S*)/g

So i changed it and it seems this also works, so which is it?

    Either, because anything matched by \d will also be matched by \S
