I found this error in what you wrote about regex.
wiki said...
A regex consumes memory. This memory is allocated by the C-code of the PCRE library which means that it may be necessary to manually free this memory using the Euphoria delete() function.
Since there is a cleanup facility now for calling delete and that cleanup facility is always applied to regex(). There is no need to call delete() on the regular expressions. Other than this, It is a document that contrasts well how the wildcard vs. regex patterns differ.
