What's the difference between  /[0-z]+/ and  /\w+/?

[MrNobo1024]

Highlight the box below if you want to see the answer...

[0-z] contains the :;<=>?@[\]^` characters but \w dosen't. Also \w might contain other characters depending on your locale and whether you're using Unicode or not.

update: Answer despoiled in the spirit of quizing...

[0-z] matches all ASCII characters between ordinals 48 and 122. This includes alot of symbols that aren't in the set matched by \w, which only includes letters, numbers, and the underscore [a-zA-Z0-9_].
