<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Oracle's regular expression dialect differs from PostgreSQL's. The Oracle 11g version lacks backslash digit specifiers. That means that in a PostgreSQL regular expression, "\x21" = "!", but not in Oracle's.<br>
<br>Java's interpretation of regular expressions differs from both databases. Perl offers you a choice of regular expression interpreters, all slightly different. Python does things in its own way too. Shell file grouping uses only a small subset of the regular expression vocabulary. sed(1), vi(1), and ed(1) are all the same, but different from the other 6 cases.<br>
<br></div>Of course all this keeps us in business. Think of it, if regex were consistent then any fool could learn to code! ( heh).<br><br></div>-- CHS<br><br><div><div><br><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>
