Hi all,
I just came across this page documenting Perl regular expressions for Dataflux. Do the data step Perl RegEx functions have the same level of capability? I tried using \h for horizontal white space once, but it didn't work.
Thanks
Barry
Oh sorry. You use \h.
Yes, unsupported in SAS.
You can use: \x09 \t \s [[:blank:]]
The latter is equivalent to \h
It works for me.
data T; D=prxmatch('/\t/','2009'x); putlog D=; run;
D=2
