My point was that Roedy is a Java programmer post in a Java newsgroup, 
and he didn't even look at the existing Java docs for regex patterns.  I 
just can't even conceive why Roedy would post such a question.  I wasn't 
even going to post the lmgtfy link because the Java docs are such an 
obvious solution.

That said the first link when I do Google is a really excellent 
discussion exactly how character classes and meta-characters work, with 
even different flavors of regex discussed (Posix is a bit different, the 
others seem the same.)
