Can you provide a (script)  example of the call you're making?

    If you had the following script:

     

    var strGuest = "Name";

    var strGuestPassword = "My name is guest";

     

    If you try to do a Find (from menu "Edit > Find" or keyboard "Ctrl + F") and enable regular expressions and match case, "strGuest\w" will find "strGuestPassword" instead of "strGuestP".  If you search for "strGuest\W", it will find nothing instead of "strGuest ".

      I must confess that I don't see it.  For me, 'strGuest\w' finds "strGuestP" and 'strGuest\W' finds "strGuest " in both versions of TestComplete.
