There is nothing special with the regexps you need to enter with
`org-agenda-bulk-mark-regexp', you can use the same syntax you would
use for, e.g., C-u C-s in Emacs.

Note that only the text of the headline is considered, not part of
the agenda line that are not the heading itself (e.g. todo keywords,
tags, etc.)

> Pre Class

should work

> Pre\sClass

=> Pre\s-Class should work

> Pre\\sClass

nope

> Pre.*Class

should work

> {Pre Class}

nope.

HTH,
