Using R is a grate advantage, thanks for your work. Using regex under R 3.1.1, Debian 8.6 jessy works fine.
str_detect("16-03-08", "[:digit:]{2}") [1] TRUE str_detect("16-03-08", "[0-9]{2}") [1] TRUE runing the same code under R 3.3.2 backport, Debian 8.6 jessy gives a different result. This is also a different computer. str_detect("16-03-08", "[:digit:]{2}") [1] FALSE str_detect("16-03-08", "[0-9]{2}") [1] TRUE Is this intended? My workaround is using [0-9] instead of [:digit:].
