The following three character shortcuts, or Frontier constants, are supported in the regex extension.

Since Frontier recognises these constants, the backslash does not have to be escaped - unlike every other backslash used when passing parameters to the regex engine.

\r	carriage return	Match the ascii carriage return character Example regex.easyMatch ("\r", char (13))    » true
\n	line feed	Match the ascii line feed character Example regex.easyMatch ("\n", char (10))    » true
\t	tab	Match the ascii tab character Example regex.easyMatch ("\t", char (9))    » true
