Format for regular expressions are undocumented

the syntax is documented here: http://dsource.org/projects/tango/docs/current/tango.text.Regex.html

is that what you mean?

Does tango.text.Util use the same? Use of ^{in a character class is not discussed... But, yeah, it is what I meant. I was blind.}

what was the question about tango.text.Util?

Question was: How do patterns / regular expressions within tango.text.Util work? There's docs for Regex, but they're not necessarily used by tango.text.Util.

In my previous post, the carat character caused wiki formatting. The tango.text.Regex docs don't talk about it's uses besides as start of input / start of line.

I don't think there's any usage of regex, or caret, in tango.text.Util ... is there?

Also, tango.text.Regex has no connection to the wiki formatting. Not sure that I understand what you're asking?

I think things are getting jumbled together. Let me try to split it apart:

1. tango.text.Util does not document its pattern formats.

2. tango.text.Regex does not document all uses of caret

3. An earlier addition to this ticket used the carat symbol and caused ^superscript

1. When text.Util speaks about "patterns" it actually means plain strings, no special operators. That's why there's no documentation. If you need "real" patterns, you can use text.Regex.

2. is fixed now

3. is excused ;)

Util should be documented. Is pattern a substring? A collection of characters to match? A regular expression? All are reasonable interpretations of pattern without clarifying documentation.
