[osis-core] Grain regex

[Patrick Durusau]

Todd,

cp = character position

str = string

Lack of delimiter on cp was due to lack on one on the regex Steve and I 
wrote. ;-) Inserted ":" on the expressions I am about to send. Not 
wedded to it, suggest [ and ] for consistency with str?

I am trying with \L and \Nd to allow all letters and digits. (Note that 
character position can only be \Nd, if that is the question? May be 
missing the real question so if I am, please repeat.)
