Given the following Regular Expression in JavaScript:
56\d.*
Above would match e.g. 45678. So my Question is: are digits in JavaScript chars?
*d Matches any single digit, . Matches any char except newline, * matches zero or more occurrences*

Digits in JavaScripts, in a string context, are chars.
The dot in a Regular Expression matches every character, except for newlines. If you need a RegExp which matches every character, use [\S\s], which means "every non-whitespace character + every whitespace character" (=everything).

2@kennebec Char is an abbreviation for character. I'm sure that the OP isn't referring to a "Char" datatype. – Rob W Oct 17 '11 at 22:32
