1. Yes, you need the backslash there.
2. You didn't tell it that it can insert characters at the end (`r:|=*').
3. Look at your character class. Closely.
[.,_-\ ]
That's `a dot, a comma or one of the characters between an underscore
and a space'. Since the space is ASCII-wise before the underscore
that's the same as `a dot or a comma'.
You might want to try 'r:|[.,\ _-]=** r:|=*'.
Bye
Sven
