in thread how to state this by REL

>The regexp is correct. The problem is your string. Use single >quote instead of double quote, to avoid interpolation. Yes, I got it, Now I use single quote to make it happy, and I want to know what's really means as to \w in perl, do it include @ ! or not? Thanks for the info.

    A "\w" matches a single alphanumeric character (an alphabetic character, or a decimal digit) or "_", not a whole word.
