Regex engine fails to match substrings

           Summary: Regex engine fails to match substrings
           Product: Xerces-J
           Version: 1.4.4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Jochen.Schwarze@cit.de


The 1.4.4 regex package org.apache.xerces.utils.regex.* fails to match the 
regex "\d+|\d*\.\d+" against the string "abc 42.7 xyz", see example code in 
attachment. However, if there are no trailing characters after the matched text 
in the target string, the regex will match.
