Regular Expression for - \C\R...

[stratus]

I want to know what is the meaning of \C and \R.

for example, if(/^\s*(\C\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)/i)
if(/^\s*(\R\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)/i){


I cannot find this in the document.

What document? Have you looked in perlre? Search for
"In addition, Perl defines the following:".

Maybe stratus uses an older version of perl. \S seems to be fairly recent.

For \C, it says:
\C Match a single C char (octet) even under Unicode.
NOTE: breaks up characters into their UTF-8 bytes,
so you may end up with malformed pieces of UTF-8.
Unsupported in lookbehind.

But I can't find \R in the doc for perl 5.8 either.

I suppose you mean "\C". "\S" is ancient.

For \C, it says:
\C Match a single C char (octet) even under Unicode.

so you may end up with malformed pieces of UTF-8.
Unsupported in lookbehind.

But I can't find \R in the doc for perl 5.8 either.

"\R" (which I overlooked the first time) doesn't seem to have a
function in a regex. under current Perl, perl -le 'print qr/\R/'
simply shows "(?-xism:R)".
