Re^5: Something strange in the world or Regexes

Thanx for this nugget.

Leading to the confusing situation that \s (all whitespace) matches less than [\h\v] (both horizontal and vertical WS) :).

Yes, but at least this way \s is somewhat "fixed" without breaking code. "NEXT LINE" ("\x85") is matched by \s only in UTF-8 matching, but always by \v. And perhaps more importantly, a vertical tab (aka LINE TABULATION or "\x0b") is never matched by \s, but always by \v.	[reply]
