Using Regular Expressions
Regular expressions are a common form of expressing pattern matching.
The most common forms of regular expressions are listed below. Note
that the quotation marks (") in the examples are meant to set off terms
from the rest of the text, and are not part of the examples.
string
A regular string of characters will match the same string of
characters in the item being searched. Thus you can search for all
occurances of the string "test" by using the regular _expression_ "test".
This will also match lines with "testimony", "latest" and "intestine".
start (^)
This indicates "beginning of line" in a match. For example "^test"
matches all lines that begin with "test". Note that this must appear as
the left most character to work in this manner.
end ($)
This indicates "end of line". The regular _expression_ "test$" will
match those lines that end with "test", and "^test$" will match those
lines that contain only "test". Note that to word as the end of line,
the "$" must be the last character in the _expression_.
