With the POSIX character classes, you can write `/[[:alnum:]]/' to
match the alphabetic and numeric characters in your character set.
+ Some utilities that match regular expressions provide a non-standard
+`[:ascii:]' character class; `awk' does not. However, you can simulate
+such a construct using `[\x00-\x7F]'. This matches all values
+numerically between zero and 127, which is the defined range of the
+ASCII character set. Use a complemented character list
+(`[^\x00-\x7F]') to match any single-byte characters that are not in
+the ASCII range.
+
Two additional special sequences can appear in bracket expressions.
These apply to non-ASCII character sets, which can have single symbols
(called "collating elements") that are represented with more than one

+@c From: Hermann Peifer <peifer@gmx.eu>
+Some utilities that match regular expressions provide a non-standard
+@code{[:ascii:]} character class; @command{awk} does not. However, you
+can simulate such a construct using @code{[\x00-\x7F]}. This matches
+all values numerically between zero and 127, which is the defined
+range of the ASCII character set. Use a complemented character list
+(@code{[^\x00-\x7F]}) to match any single-byte characters that are not
+in the ASCII range.

+Some utilities that match regular expressions provide a non-standard
+@code{[:ascii:]} character class; @command{awk} does not. However, you
+can simulate such a construct using @code{[\x00-\x7F]}. This matches
+all values numerically between zero and 127, which is the defined
+range of the ASCII character set. Use a complemented character list
+(@code{[^\x00-\x7F]}) to match any single-byte characters that are not
+in the ASCII range.
