Regex - optional match

[Shenghi 0]

is it me, or... is it a bug in the way AutoIt handles regular expressions?

I have the following string:

$string = "moo1 moo2 moo3 moo4 moo5"

The following regexes _should_ all match, but they don't.

(^|\032)moo1($|\032) - doesn't match
(^|\032)moo2($|\032) - matches
(^|\032)moo3($|\032) - matches
(^|\032)moo4($|\032) - matches
(^|\032)moo5($|\032) - doesn't match

Is there a way around this?

perhaps

(^|\032)moo[1-5]($|\032)

Add a Space infront and behind $string before regex.

Heh, nice way arround it However, when working with Tokens (which is what I am doing) I doubt it's a real solution. I'll ditch the regex, I guess.
