Are not my strength ;) beyond the simple ones I use regularly in grep and vi.
Which "flavor" of expressions are used in Lua/FG?
I used to plug in really complex expressions into various online "decomposers" like regexpr.com (forgot exact name) to show graphically what it is doing.
I suspect, glancing at https://riptutorial.com/lua/example/20315/lua-pattern-matching after a search that Lua is not using a "standard" syntax of RE like pcre or grep(not sure which that is) or any of the others.
Figure if it has a name I could search for a translator to save my looking at them char at a time... cos yes, I like to avoid the effort :(
