regular expression question



Hi,

i'm using the regular expression \b\w to find the beginning of a word,
in my C# application. If the word is 'public', for example, it works.
However, if the word is '<public', it does not work: it seems that <
is not a valid character, so the beginning of the word starts at
theletter 'p' instead of '<'.

Because I'm not an expert in regular expressions, maybe someone of you
guys can help me? I need the correct regex to find the beginning of
the word '<public' in a string.

Thanks...

Kind regards,
Ludwig
