rated 0 times [ 150] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 24766 / 12 Years ago, wed, july 4, 2012, 12:00:00

I want to write a regular expression that matches each word in a sentence:

My regular expression:b(w+)b

Result:
RegExp

While it works well with English Words. It does not work when using Arabic words.
How could I accomplish the same feat for Arabic words?
