I did try it myself but was not getting the correct answer (it didnt match the pattern).
I suspected GWT RegExp being a thin wrapper, but was not sure, and you never know. I didn't try it in JavaScript because again, GWT bridges the world of Java and JavaScript, as a result one cannot be certain what works in either of the two, work as expected in GWT. after I simplified my pattern, I got it to work. however when I posted this question, I already had spent quite some time on it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
