  No, the documentation is incorrect.  regex() is part of the libPW.a library.

  I also found another mistake in the documentation for regex().  There is an
external variable "_loc1" which is exported.  This variable is actually
"__loc1".  (That is two underscores in the variable name, not just one.)

  I have reported these two problems to the appropriate people.

  Hope this helps!
