Anchors Description Example
^ (caret)
Matches at the start of the string to which the regular
expression pattern is applied. Matches a position rather than
a character. Most regular expression flavors have an option
to make the caret match after line breaks (i.e. at the start of a
line in a file) as well.
^.
matches
a in
abc\ndef.
Also
matches
d in
"multi-
line"
mode.
$
(dollar)
Matches at the end of the string to which the regular
expression pattern is applied. Matches a position rather than
a character. Most regular expression flavors have an option
to make the dollar match before line breaks (i.e. at the end of
a line in a file) as well. Also matches before the very last line
break if the string ends with a line break.
