[Gambas-user] Isn't bracket regular expression compatible with UTF8?

[Fernando Cabral]

I have been trying something like *poder[^[:alpha:]*  so I  could find the
word "poder " ("poder" followed by an space) but not "poderão" ("ã" being
an alpha character in Portuguese.)

In English it could be like finding "power" but not "powerless".

Problem is that it seems [^[alpha]] includes accented characters like "á",
"é", "ã".

That is, accented characters are not understood as alpha, but not alpha.

Please, note that I have compiled it with the UTF8 flag:
*   re.Compile(poder[^[:alpha]], RegExp.utf8)*

Any hints?
