I'm not sure. I'm trying to connect my knowledge of Perl regular 
expressions onto the functions that Revolution exposes.

BTW I guessed right about the PCRE library. It's what Revolution uses. 
Here is the documentation for PCRE: http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt. 
Perhaps we could use the revolution regex engine better with this 
knowledge.

# cd /Applications/Revolution 2.0.1/Revolution.app/Contents/MacOS
# strings < Revolution | grep -i pcre
this version of PCRE is not compiled with PCRE_UTF8 support
_pcre_compile
_pcre_exec
_pcre_free
_pcre_fullinfo
_pcre_info
_pcre_malloc
_pcre_version
_FSpCreate
_FSpCreateResFile
__Z21pcre_posix_error_codePKc
_pcre_default_tables
