Regular expressions
Regular expressions make it possible to search ASCII text for patterns of characters instead
of literal strings of characters. For example, they allow you to search for all expressions
consisting of a character followed by any character in a defined set, or to search only for
occurrences of a string of characters at the end of a line.
Checking the Regular Expressions checkbox in the Find, Replace or Find in files windows
enables the use of meta characters for regular expressions such as those listed in Ta bl e 16 .
