Regular Expression question

[Ron]

Hi Kenji, Mark,

Thanks for your suggestions.
Kenji, you are right about searching using the find command. I can  
search for Kanji, as you do in your stack.
Mark, you are right about escaping the characters when I use regex.   
I've have been escaping the chars and that seems to work in the case  
where there are no reg expressions - only the kanji.

My problem is identifying and converting the kanji in the regex string  
that I put into matchtext.

for example: "love\w\w" finds among other things, loved, lovely, loves  
etc. Regex parses this expression fine so I can have the user input it  
directly. But if I use Kanji: "土.{1,10}水" it does not work.
This is the kanji for land followed by a period followed by the match  
operator followed by the kanji for water. I'm looking for the first  
kanji separated from the second by 1 to 10 chars.

It seems I need to let regex know I'm using kanji and there must be  
some way to do so, unless Rev does not support that.

Thanks
Ron
