[V4MD] regex solved

[Martin Kloss]

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that I solved my regex problem
with finding strings that start with German lower quotation marks.
The key is to search for "\x84", because since it's a special
character you cannot write it in plaintext. So a regex expression
like "\b(\x84|\W|\s)?" will find words starting with non-alphanumeric
characters or whitespace, including the lower quotation mark
(I still don't know the proper English name for it).

Maybe it can help someone in the future, I finally found the character code
in a Perl program, which needed to replace these quotes with
regular upper quotes. Funny that nobody had this problem before.

Martin.
