Problem with [. -]
by seanr » Wed Jul 14, 2004 9:33 am
Any idea why using [. -] on 65040HW.1654B yields HWB instead of 65040HW1654B? The way the help file is written that regexp I used should strip out any period space or dash, but it's removing everything except the letters. That doesn't make any sense to me at all.

I believe your problem is that its attempting to interpret the - (dash) character in your square brackets as a range.
For example, [a-z] specifies a range of lowercase characters.
If you use [. ^-] (placing a caret prior to the dash) it appears to work for the UltraEdit regular expression engine.
Hope that helps,

A backward slash should also work [. \-] for the Unix regular expression engine or something like [0-9A-Z]-[0-9A-Z]
