I am not a regex expert, I simply assumed regex was standardized to follow specific guidelines. I also made the assumption that this was a good place to pose the question since regular expressions are a feature of Python. The question concerned regular expressions in general, not really the application. However, now that I know that regex can be different, I'll try to contact the author directly to find out the dialect and then find the appropriate location for my question from there. I do appreciate everyone's help. I've tried the various suggestions offered here, however none of them work. I can only assume at this point that this regex is drastically different or the application reading the regex is just broken.
Thanks again for everyones help!
