Regular Expressions
Regular expressions include metacharacters to instruct the program how to treat characters it
encounters. These include the following: ^, $, . , | , { , } , [ , ] , ( , ), *, +, ? , \. If you want to match
one of these metacharacters, you must prepend a backslash (\). So to match a literal question mark,
rather than instructing regular expression matching to match 0 or 1 of a previous expression, you
must enter \?.
The following table outlines standard, supported regular expressions.
