With manuals comprehensive is far more desirable than brief. I would not excuse leaving stuff out from documentation because you can find stuff on the internet. Information may be required when there is no internet connect - in my case when I am sea for months there is no way I can make an internet connection apart from a 12k connection via ham radio!!! I have to rely on using what is on the hard drive. Why not be straightforward and say it was an omission from the documentation which will be corrected next time and add one of those regex documents into the package. The other thing regex, in my view, should only be implemented in accordance with the current standard. David -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.
