Character |
Description |
/ |
Mark the next character as a special character, text, reverse reference, or octal escape character. For example, "N" matches the character "N ". "/N" matches the line break. The sequence "//" matches "/", and "/(" matches "(". |
^ |
Match the start position of the input string. IfRegexpObjectMultilineProperty, ^ also matches the position after "/N" or "/R. |
$ |
Matches the position at the end of the input string. IfRegexpObjectMultilineAttribute, $ also matches the position before "/N" or "/R. |
* |
Matches the previous character or subexpression zero or multiple times. For example, Zo * matches "Z" and "Zoo ". * Is equivalent to {0 ,}. |
+ |
Match the previous character or subexpression one or more times. For example, "zo +" matches "zo" and "Zoo", but does not match "Z. + Is equivalent to {1 ,}. |
? |
Matches the previous character or subexpression zero or once. For example, "Do (ES )?" Match "do" in "do" or "does ".? It is equivalent to {0, 1 }. |
{N} |
NIt is a non-negative integer. Exactly matchNTimes. For example, "o {2}" does not match "O" in "Bob", but matches two "O" in "food. |
{N,} |
NIt is a non-negative integer. At least matchNTimes. For example, "o {2,}" does not match "O" in "Bob", but matches all o in "foooood. "O {1,}" is equivalent to "O + ". "O {0,}" is equivalent to "O *". |
{N,M} |
MAndNIs a non-negative integer.N<=M. Match at leastNTimes, upMTimes. For example, "O {1, 3}" matches the first three o in "fooooood. 'O {0, 1} 'is equivalent to 'o? '. Note: you cannot insert spaces between commas and numbers. |
? |
When this character is followed by any other qualifier (*, + ,? ,{N},{N,},{N,M}), The matching mode is "not greedy ". The "non-greedy" Mode matches the searched strings as short as possible, while the default "greedy" Mode matches the searched strings as long as possible. For example, in the string "oooo", "O + ?" Only one "O" is matched, and "O +" is matched with all "O ". |
. |
Match any single character except "/N. To match any character including "/N", use a mode such as "[/S. |
(Pattern) |
MatchPatternAnd capture the matched child expression. Available$0... $9The property is retrieved from the "match" set of the result. To match the parentheses (), use "/(" or "/)". |
(? :Pattern) |
MatchPatternHowever, the child expression that does not capture the match, that is, it is a non-capturing match and is not stored for future use. This is useful for components that use the "or" character (|) combination mode. For example, 'industr (? : Y | ies) is a more economical expression than 'industry | industries. |
(? =Pattern) |
Execute the subexpression of Forward prediction first search, which matchesPatternThe start point of the string. It is a non-capture match, that is, it cannot be captured for future use. For example, 'windows (? = 95 | 98 | nt | 2000) 'matches "Windows" in "Windows 2000", but does not match "Windows" in "Windows 3.1 ". Prediction first does not occupy characters, that is, after a match occurs, the next matched search follows the previous match, rather than after the characters that constitute prediction first. |
(?!Pattern) |
Execute the subexpression of the reverse prediction first search. This expression does not matchPatternThe start point of the string. It is a non-capture match, that is, it cannot be captured for future use. For example, 'windows (?! 95 | 98 | nt | 2000) 'matches "Windows" in "Windows 3.1", but does not match "Windows" in "Windows 2000 ". Prediction first does not occupy characters, that is, after a match occurs, the next matched search follows the previous match, rather than after the characters that constitute prediction first. |
X|Y |
MatchXOrY. For example, 'z | food' matches "Z" or "food ". '(Z | f) Ood' matches "zood" or "food ". |
[XYZ] |
Character Set. Match any character. For example, "[ABC]" matches "A" in "plain ". |
[^XYZ] |
Reverse character set. Match any character that is not included. For example, "[^ ABC]" matches "P" in "plain ". |
[A-z] |
Character range. Matches any character in the specified range. For example, "[A-Z]" matches any lowercase letter in the range of "A" to "Z. |
[^A-z] |
Reverse range character. Matches any character that is not within the specified range. For example, "[^ A-Z]" matches any character that is not in the range of "A" to "Z. |
/B |
Match A Word boundary, that is, the position between the word and the space. For example, "ER/B" matches "er" in "never", but does not match "er" in "verb ". |
/B |
Non-word boundary match. "Er/B" matches "er" in "verb", but does not match "er" in "never ". |
/CX |
MatchXIndicates the control character. For example,/cm matches control-M or carriage return.XMust be between the A-Z or a-Z. If this is not the case, it is assumed that C is the "c" character itself. |
/D |
Match numeric characters. It is equivalent to [0-9]. |
/D |
Match non-numeric characters. It is equivalent to [^ 0-9]. |
/F |
Match the page feed. It is equivalent to/x0c and/Cl. |
/N |
Line feed match. It is equivalent to/x0a and/CJ. |
/R |
Match a carriage return. It is equivalent to/x0d and/cm. |
/S |
Matches any blank characters, including spaces, tabs, and page breaks. It is equivalent to [/f/n/R/T/V. |
/S |
Match any non-blank characters. It is equivalent to [^/f/n/R/T/V. |
/T |
Tab matching. It is equivalent to/x09 and/CI. |
/V |
Vertical tab matching. It is equivalent to/x0b and/ck. |
/W |
Matches any character type, including underscores. Equivalent to [A-Za-z0-9. |
/W |
Matches any non-word character. Equivalent to [^ A-Za-z0-9. |
/XN |
MatchN,NIs a hexadecimal escape code. The hexadecimal escape code must be exactly two digits long. For example, "/x41" matches "". "/X041" is equivalent to "/x04" & "1. ASCII code can be used in regular expressions. |
/Num |
MatchNum,NumIs a positive integer. To capture matched reverse references. For example, "(.)/1" matches two consecutive identical characters. |
/N |
Identifies an octal escape code or a reverse reference. If/NAt leastNCapture sub-expressions, thenNIs a reverse reference. Otherwise, ifNIs the eight-digit number (0-7), thenNIt is an octal escape code. |
/Nm |
Identifies an octal escape code or a reverse reference. If/NmAt leastNmCapture sub-expressions, thenNmIs a reverse reference. If/NmAt leastNCaptureNIs reverse reference, followed by charactersM. If neither of the preceding conditions exists, then/NmMatching octal valuesNm, WhereNAndMIt is an octal digit (0-7 ). |
/NML |
WhenNIs the number of octal (0-3 ),MAndLMatch the octal escape code when it is an octal number (0-7 ).NML. |
/UN |
MatchN, WhereNIt is a Unicode Character in hexadecimal notation. For example,/u00a9 matches the copyright symbol (). |
