Re: BUG in tclsh "BRE" is not accepted

As the documentation says, the closing brace has to be rigth after the option character:
    regexp {(?b)\<otto\>} "hallo otto home"
works for me.

          An ARE may begin with embedded options: a sequence (?xyz) (where xyz is one or more alphabetic characters) specifies

couldn't compile regular expression pattern: invalid embedded option
  → don't know HOWTO activate a BRE
 (the reason for this question is that BRE is the default RE of the "grep" command and
if TCL and GREP work together they COULD share the BRE)
