UltraEdit has several regex engines at its disposal. You pick the one you want. The one I care about is the Perl one, which uses PCRE.
In general, you can separate applications that offer regular expressions into two camps: those that offer an engine and syntax similar to the one used in Perl, and all the others.
Hint: the ones that offer something similar to Perl are much more successful.
