Add support for Perl5/JavaScript regular expressions

[csalsa]

I am a regular user of regular expressions

I would support added for support for Perl5/JavaScript regular expressions. Thus I can use regular expressions as they are given from books and web sites such as Regular Expression Library

For example, Perl5/JavaScript uses character classes:

• \w Matches on any word character

• \W Matches on any non-word character

• \s Matches on any white-space character

• \d Matches on any digit character

• \D Matches on any non-digit character

The lack of proper regular expression support is the main reason I have looked at other editors. Hopefully this will be addressed in the version 5.

You might be interested in glancing at WildEdit (http://www.textpad.com/products/wildedit/), which uses the powerful Boost regular expression recogniser.
