i mean, i tried the regex out before posting, and my text editor didn't find it. i was actually asking because i was more wondering if it was a deficiency with my text editor or a limitation of the engine (i really have no idea how a regex engine works, but i'm learning).
anyway, did some research, turns out i was wrong about the interpreter (i'm using sublime text 2 which, by the way, is really, really great, and it uses Boost, which i guess is a 'flavour'(?) of Perl).
boost does support this kind of expression but the syntax is slightly different. linking to the docs in case anyone else uses ST and wants the reference:
