[Montreal-pm] Séquences d'échappement dans les regexes

[Luc St-Louis]

brian d foy vient de poster sur son blog la liste suivante, préparée par
Tom Christiansen, qui montre dans quelle version de Perl ont été
introduites les différentes séquence d'échappement utilisées dans les
regexes. Comme la plupart d'entre nous ne les connaissent probablement
pas toutes, j'ai pensé que ça serait intéressant de les montrer ici
(entrée du blog:
