They might not be familiar > with POSIX extended regular expression and expect it to work. Going by that logic, might they not expect a lot more? (Say, if all they know about regexps is PCRE, for example.) Intuition says that it's enough to specify "POSIX extended regular expressions", because they're a very clearly defined type of regexp. (Don't be fooled by the word "extended", POSIX rigorously defines a type of regexp called "extended regular expressions", aka ERE.) Taylan
