Hi Kenji, Mark,

Thanks for your suggestions.
Kenji, you are right about searching using the find command. I can search for Kanji, as you do in your stack. Mark, you are right about escaping the characters when I use regex. I've have been escaping the chars and that seems to work in the case where there are no reg expressions - only the kanji.

My problem is identifying and converting the kanji in the regex string that I put into matchtext.

for example: "love\w\w" finds among other things, loved, lovely, loves etc. Regex parses this expression fine so I can have the user input it directly. But if I use Kanji: "土.{1,10}水" it does not work. This is the kanji for land followed by a period followed by the match operator followed by the kanji for water. I'm looking for the first kanji separated from the second by 1 to 10 chars.

It seems I need to let regex know I'm using kanji and there must be some way to do so, unless Rev does not support that.

Thanks
Ron

Ron,

I made a Japanese search field before. I don't know what the regex is, but the search field works in Japanese and English on Rev3.0.

go stack url "http://www.kenjikojima.com/runrev/handbook/download/JpSearchFld.rev "

Try it,

Hi,
I'm trying to use regex for searching unicode text in Rev. The docs
say that Rev follows pcre rules and I've tried various combinations or
\N, \x but unsuccessfully. Can someone offer a way to do this or
confirm that Rev does not support regex for unicode?

I am working with utf 8 (Greek etc) and  utf 16 (Japanese etc)

Thanks so much,

Ron
