Yes. Definitely backslash-happy. This is something that I have wondered about, but never really remembered to look up or ask. It's much easier to read your way. No fear, I will not go defining character class ranges with the dash. :) And using \x20 instead of a literal space is something that never occurred to me before, but seems like such an obviously good idea, that I'll now probably write a bunch of scripts that totally overuse it. ;)
