I am using SVR2 lex and I need to be able to match the octal "\240" (meta-backslash). None of the following work: " \240\n" | [ \240\n] | .* | .+ ; The lex manual states that the operator character . (dot) is the class of all characters except newline. Does this class not include any octal sequence? Robert A. Swanson ihnp4!ihlpl!swanson AT&T Bell Labs Naperville, Illinois IH6N529
