Hi John, Well, I have to take it all back. Using \S etc.does work in this situation. The problem is only with matching the \xHH values.
I still don’t understand why it won’t match with the \xHH values, but I have some clues that I will look into. I also tested the issue of the bug you referred too. I now understand that that is a different issue; non of the generic character types I tested worked there.
