​Thanks Peter,

Well, I should have said that I didn't managed to make them work
consistently.

A couple of years ago, I spent quite some time to dig in
​ ​
regex within LC.
I
​dropped the idea of using (?R) or its derivatives because for most
practical cases
it didn't worked as expected (even crash LC) but
​those regex ​
worked in Perl scripts!
 (looks like in php it works great too).
​

​Regards,

Thierry​
