The pipe (|) character matches either "x" or "y", where "x" or "y" are blocks of characters.įor example, "car|bus" will match either "car" or "bus".

Note: The parentheses are equivalent to "(?:…)" The parentheses are used to group characters.įor example, "(cars?)|bus" will match "car", "cars", or "bus". When using the dash to define a range of characters, the first character must precede the second character in alphabetic or numeric order.įor example, "" is valid, but "" is not valid. For example, "" matches any lowercase letter, and "" matches any uppercase letter.

Within square brackets, a range of characters can be defined using the dash (-). A range of characters in the alphabet can be matched using the hyphen.įor example, "// "will match any of "x", "y", or "z". The square brackets match any one of characters inside the brackets. If m is not present then the pattern is matched n or more times.įor example, "/x/" matches "xx" and "xxx". This form of the curly brackets is used to match the preceding character or pattern from n to m times, with n greater than m. Note: The curly brackets are used in the application to differentiate white space bounded text or characters from text or characters that are embedded among other characters with no identifiable white space. The curly brackets are used to match exactly n instances of the proceeding character or pattern. The question mark character matches the preceding pattern or character zero or once.įor example, "/ca?r/" matches both "car" and "cr" it will not match "caar".
