[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38778] regexp('a', '\<\w') != 1

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #38778 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Summary: regexp('a', '\<\w') != 1 => regexp('a', '<w') != 1 

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed on both stable and default.

AFAICT the \< and \> sequences are not supported by Perl or PCRE at all. This
could be done by translating both into \b before passing down to PCRE, but
it's not exactly the same.
