Special Character Description
.
Matches on any character.
\(
This marks the start of a region for tagging a match.
\)
This marks the end of a tagged region.
\n
Where n is 1 through 9 refers to the first through ninth tagged region when
replacing. For example: if the search string was Fred\([1-9]\)XXX and the
replace string was Sam\1YYY, when applied to Fred2XXX this would gener-
ate Sam2YYY.
\<
This matches the start of a word.
\>
This matches the end of a word.
\x
This allows you to use a character x that would otherwise have a special
meaning. For example: \[ would be interpreted as [ and not as the start of a
character set.
[...]
This indicates a set of characters. For example: [abc] means any of the char-
acters a, b or c. You can also use ranges. For example: [a-z] for any lower
case character.
[^...]
The complement of the characters in the set. For example: [^A-Za-z] means
any character except an alphabetic character.
^
This matches the start of a line (unless used inside a set, see above).
$
This matches the end of a line.
*
This matches 0 or more times. For example: Sa*m matches Sm, Sam, Saam,
Saaam and so on.
+
This matches 1 or more times. For example: Sa+m matches Sam, Saam,
Saaam and so on.
