Regular Expressions (POSIX)
. Any single character.
[ ] Any one of the characters in the brackets, or any of a
range of characters separated by a hyphen (-), or a
character class operator (see below).
[^] Any characters except for those after the caret "^".
^ The start of a line (column 1).
$ The end of a line (not the line break characters).
\< The start of a word.
\> The end of a word.
\t The tab character.
\f The page break (form feed) character.
\n A new line character, for matching expressions that span
line boundaries. This cannot be followed by operators
'*', '+' or {}. Do not use this for constraining matches to
the end of a line. It's much more efficient to use "$".
\xdd "dd" is the two-digit hexadecimal code for any
character.
( ) Groups a tagged expression to use in replacement
expressions. An RE can have up to 9 tagged
expressions.
* Matches zero or more preceding characters/expressions.
? Matches zero or one preceding characters/expressions.
+ Matches one or more preceding characters/ expressions.
{count} Matches the specified number of the preceding
characters or expressions.
{min,} Matches at least the specified number of the preceding
characters or expressions.
{min,max} Matches between min and max of the preceding
characters or expressions.
| Matches either the expression to its left or its right.
\ "Escapes" the special meaning of the above expressions,
so that they can be matched as literal characters.
[:alpha:] Any letter.
[:lower:] Any lower case letter.
[:upper:] Any upper case letter.
[:alnum:] Any digit or letter.
[:digit:] Any digit.
[:xdigit:] Any hexadecimal digit (0-9, a-f or A-F).
[:blank:] Space or tab.
[:space:] Space, tab, vertical tab, return, line feed, form feed.
[:cntrl:] Control characters (Delete and ASCII codes less than
space).
[:print:] Printable characters, including space.
[:graph:] Printable characters, excluding space.
[:punct:] Anything that is not a control or alphanumeric character.
[:word:] Letters, hypens and apostrophes.
[:token:] Any of the characters defined on the Syntax page for the
document class, or in the syntax definition file if syntax
highlighting is enabled for the document class.
Replacement Expressions
& Substitute the text matching the entire search pattern.
\0 to \9 Substitute the text matching tagged expression 0 through
9. \0 is equivalent to &.
\f Substitute a page break (form feed).
\i Substitute a sequence number.
\n Substitute a newline.
\p Substitute the contents of the clipboard.
\t Substitute a tab.
\xdd Substitute the character with hex code dd (must be 2 hex
digits, excluding 00).
\u Force the next substituted character to be in upper case.
\l Force the next substituted character to be in lower case.
\U Force all subsequent substituted characters to be in
upper case.
\L Force all subsequent substituted characters to be in
lower case.
\E or \e Turns off previous \U or \L.
