I'm still learning regex (would that ever end?) and prefer to burden my poor little brain with only the one flavor.
For filesystems, I've been using sack, a wrapper for ack and ag/silver-searcher - and pt on windoze.
For the other places/functions that make use of regex within emacs, I'd like pointers to plugins or alternatives that enable the use of PCRE syntax.
Note I plan to use helm or icicles in the future once I get my head (and fingers) more wrapped around basic usage, still very much an emacs noob.
BTW I'd also appreciate pointers to integrating the above file-search tool(s) (ideally sack) with emacs - so far leaning towards ack-and-a-half to start with since that seems the more recently developed.

I'd recommend `ack.el' (you can isntall it with M-x install-package).
