Re: Regexp match with accented character problem

And one more thing:

this all is strange.

test=# select * from text where a_text ~* E'\\mmacskacic\\W\\s';
title | a_text
--------------+--------------------------
A macskacicó | A bah macskacicóca
A macskacicó | A bah macskacicó és a ló
(2 rows)

Strange, because I expect the 'macskacic+NON_WORD+WSPACE' pattern.
The corresponding perl regexp does not match:
macskacic\W\s

I am really lost.

And stop spamming.
