I am somewhat at a handicap because of the script. Maybe time I learned. Smilie Anyway, maybe the following explanations will solve for you:

[^[:word:]] means a single character that is NOT a word character.

^\W means a NON-word character at beginning of line.
^\w means a word character at beginning of line.
