I have never been able to use the Character Class Operators. They don't seem to work. Example to find a space [:space:]

I tried finding out more about this and saw something about setting the syntax bit.
CAn anyone enlighten me?

thanks

Wrong example.
The character class operators have to be used in a character class.
To find a space:
[[:space:]] (double [ and ] !)
to find a space or a letter from a to c:
[[:space:]a-z]

The outer [ and ] mark the character class,
the inner ones mark the start and end of the character class operator.

As long as you're learning how to use Regular Expressions, you might profit by looking at Jeff Epstein's Regex page: <br>
