TABLE 12 Special characters for regular expressions (continued)
Character Operation
You can use the following expression symbols within the brackets. These
symbols are allowed only inside the brackets.
• ^ - The caret matches on any characters except the ones in the
brackets. For example, the following regular expression matches
output that does not contain "1", "2", "3", "4", or "5":[^1-5]
• - The hyphen separates the beginning and ending of a range of
characters. A match occurs if any of the characters within the
range is present. See the example above.
| A vertical bar separates two alternative values or sets of values. The output
can match one or the other value.
For example, the following regular expression matches output that
contains either "abc" or "defg":
abc|defg
( ) Parentheses allow you to create complex expressions.
For example, the following complex expression matches on "abc",
"abcabc", or "defg", but not on "abcdefgdefg":
((abc)+)|((defg)?)
If you want to lter for a special character instead of using the special character as described in the table above, enter "\ " (backslash ) in
front of the character.
