>             Project: JBoss Rules
>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) 
>    Affects Versions: 4.0.0.MR2
>         Environment: Windows XP
>            Reporter: Krishnan Sivaramakrishna Iyer
>         Assigned To: Edson Tirelli
>             Fix For:  4.0.0.MR3

> Currently, if there exists a string such as 
> final String version = "version 12.2";
> and you try to match it against the following regex 
> version\\s*\\d+\\.\\d+.*
> It will not match. This is because of the following problem 
> <tirelli> newbie: found the problem
> <tirelli> it is a bug
> <tirelli> but there is a workaround
> <tirelli> problem is the current DRL grammar does not allow to escape things like \s and \d
> <tirelli> EscapeSequence
> <tirelli>     :   '\\' ('b'|'t'|'n'|'f'|'r'|'\"'|'\''|'\\'|'.')
> <tirelli> those are the only accepted symbols to be escaped today
> <tirelli> may I ask you plz to open a JIRA requesting support to all regexp symbols? I will fix that for 4.0 final
> <tirelli> meanwhile, you can do this to work:
> <tirelli> line matches "version[ \t]*[0-9]+\.[0-9]+.*"
> Thanks,
