character |
Description |
\ |
Marks the next character as a special character, or a literal character, or a back reference, or a octal escape character. For example, ' n ' matches the character ' n '. ' \ n ' matches a newline character. Sequence ' \ ' matches ' \ ' and ' \ (' Matches ' (". |
^ |
Matches the start position of the input string. If the Multiline property of the RegExp object is set, ^ also matches the position after ' \ n ' or ' \ R '. |
$ |
Matches the end position of the input string. If the Multiline property of the RegExp object is set, the $ also matches the position before ' \ n ' or ' \ R '. |
* |
Matches the preceding subexpression 0 or more times. For example, zo* can match "z" and "Zoo". * is equivalent to {0,}. |
+ |
Matches the preceding subexpression one or more times. For example, ' zo+ ' can match "Zo" and "Zoo", but cannot match "Z". + is equivalent to {1,}. |
? |
Match the preceding subexpression 0 times or once. For example, "Do (es)" can match "do" in "do" or "does". is equivalent to {0,1}. |
{n} |
N is a non-negative integer. Matches the determined n times. For example, ' o{2} ' cannot match ' o ' in ' Bob ', but can match two o in ' food '. |
{n,} |
N is a non-negative integer. Match at least N times. For example, ' o{2,} ' cannot match ' o ' in ' Bob ' but can match all o in ' Foooood '. ' O{1,} ' is equivalent to ' o+ '. ' O{0,} ' is equivalent to ' o* '. |
{n,m} |
m and n are nonnegative integers, of which n <= m. Matches N times at least and matches up to M times. Liu, "o{1,3}" will match the first three o in "Fooooood". ' o{0,1} ' is equivalent to ' o '. Notice that there is no space between the comma and the two number. |
? |
When the character is immediately following any other qualifier (*, +,?, {n}, {n,}, {n,m}), the matching pattern is not greedy. Non-greedy patterns match as few strings as possible, while the default greedy pattern matches as many of the searched strings as possible. For example, for the string "oooo", ' o+? ' will match a single "O", and ' o+ ' will match all ' o '. |
. |
Matches any single character except "\ n". To match any character including ' \ n ', use a pattern like ' [. \ n] '. |
(pattern) |
Match pattern and get this match. The obtained matches can be obtained from the generated matches collection, the submatches collection is used in VBScript, and in JScript the $... the $ attribute. To match the parentheses character, use ' \ (' or ' \ '). |
(?:pattern) |
Matches pattern but does not get a matching result, which means it is a non fetch match and is not stored for later use. This is useful for combining parts of a pattern with the "or" character (|). For example, ' Industr (?: y|ies) is a more abbreviated expression than ' industry|industries '. |
(? =pattern) |
Forward lookup, matching the find string at the beginning of any string matching pattern. This is a non-fetch match, that is, the match does not need to be acquired for later use. For example, ' Windows (? =95|98| nt|2000) ' Can match windows in Windows 2000, but cannot match windows in Windows 3.1. It does not consume characters, that is, after a match occurs, the next matching search begins immediately after the last match, instead of starting after the character that contains the pre-check. |
(?! pattern) |
Negative pre-check, at the beginning of any mismatch negative lookahead matches the search string at either point where a string does matching pattern With a lookup string. This is a non-fetch match, that is, the match does not need to be acquired for later use. For example, ' Windows (?! 95|98| nt|2000) ' Can match windows in Windows 3.1, but cannot match windows in Windows 2000. It does not consume characters, that is, after a match occurs, the next matching search begins immediately after the last match, instead of starting after the character that contains the pre-check. |
x| y |
Match x or y. For example, ' Z|food ' can match "z" or "food". ' (z|f) Ood ' matches ' zood ' or ' food '. |
[XYZ] |
Character set combination. Matches any one of the characters contained. For example, ' [ABC] ' can match ' a ' in ' plain '. |
[^XYZ] |
Negative character set combination. Matches any characters that are not included. For example, ' [^ABC] ' can match ' P ' in ' plain '. |
[A-Z] |
The range of characters. Matches any character within the specified range. For example, ' [A-z] ' can match any lowercase alphabetic character in the range ' a ' to ' Z '. |
[^ A-Z] |
Negative character range. Matches any character that is not in the specified range. For example, ' [^a-z] ' can match any character that is not in the range of ' a ' to ' Z '. |
\b |
Matches a word boundary, which is the position between the word and the space. For example, ' er\b ' can match ' er ' in ' never ', but cannot match ' er ' in ' verb '. |
\b |
Matches a non-word boundary. ' er\b ' can match ' er ' in ' verb ', but cannot match ' er ' in ' Never '. |
\cx |
Matches the control character indicated by x . For example, \cm matches a control-m or carriage return character. The value of x must be one-a-Z or a-Z. Otherwise, c is treated as a literal ' C ' character. |
\d |
Matches a numeric character. equivalent to [0-9]. |
\d |
Matches a non-numeric character. equivalent to [^0-9]. |
\f |
Matches a page feed character. Equivalent to \x0c and \CL. |
\ n |
Matches a line feed character. Equivalent to \x0a and \CJ. |
\ r |
Matches a carriage return character. Equivalent to \x0d and \cm. |
\s |
Matches any white space character, including spaces, tabs, page breaks, and so on. equivalent to [\f\n\r\t\v]. |
\s |
Matches any non-white-space character. equivalent to [^ \f\n\r\t\v]. |
\ t |
Matches a tab character. Equivalent to \x09 and \ci. |
\v |
Matches a vertical tab. Equivalent to \x0b and \ck. |
\w |
Matches any word character that includes an underscore. Equivalent to ' [a-za-z0-9_] '. |
\w |
Matches any non word character. Equivalent to ' [^a-za-z0-9_] '. |
\xN |
Matches n, where n is the hexadecimal escape value. The hexadecimal escape value must be a determined two digits long. For example, ' \x41 ' matches ' A '. ' \x041 ' is equivalent to ' \x04 ' & ' 1 '. You can use ASCII encoding in regular expressions ... |
\Num |
Matches num, where num is a positive integer. A reference to the match that was obtained. For example, ' (.) \1 ' matches two consecutive identical characters. |
\N |
Identifies a octal escape value or a back reference. N is a back-reference if at least N obtained subexpression before \n . Otherwise, if n is an octal number (0-7), then N is an octal escape value. |
\nm |
Identifies a octal escape value or a back reference. If \nm has at least one preceded by at least nm , then nm is a back-reference. If at least N is fetched before \nm , then N is a back reference followed by a literal m . If the preceding conditions are not satisfied, if both n and m are octal digits (0-7), thennm will match the octal escape value nm. |
\NML |
If n is an octal number (0-3) and both m and l are octal digits (0-7), the octal escape value NML is matched . |
\uN |
Matches n, where n is a Unicode character represented in four hexadecimal digits. For example, \u00a9 matches the copyright symbol (?). |
