Regular Expressions in queries

Tinderbox regular expressions recognise a number of patterns containing the backslash character. Some common examples are:

\s matches any whitespace character

\S matches anything EXCEPT a whitespace character

\w matches a word character, such as a letter

\W matches any non-word character, such as punctuation

Otherwise Tinderbox uses normal regular expression escaping (i.e. no double-escaped backslashes). For example:

"this\sthat" 

recognises

"this&[tab char]&that" 

as well as

"this   that"
