'For example, the regular expression \b\d+,\d{3}\b tries to match a word boundary followed by one or more decimal digits followed by three decimal digits followed by a word boundary.'

Of course, this tries to match a word boundary followed by one or more decimal digits, followed by a comma then three decimal digits followed by a word boundary. Not even worth mentioning in a pure reference, in something that may be consulted by students or novices or the rusty as a tutorial, worth fixing to avoid confusion.
