#Square brackets ([ and ]) delimits a range of characters.!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[aA] means either a or A.
|
||
|
|
[a-z] matches any lowercase character.
|
||
|
|
[0-9] matches any digit.
|
||
|
|
[0-9a-zA-Z] for characters commonly used in variable names.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can combine the brackets with other patterns.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pattern Interpretation
|
||
|
|
/[aA]/ Matches against a or A.
|
||
|
|
/[aA]+/ Matches one or more instances of a or A.
|
||
|
|
/[aA]*/ Matches zero or more instances of a or A.
|
||
|
|
/[aA]?/ Matches zero or one instance of a or A.
|
||
|
|
/[^aA]/ Returns true if any character is found that is not a or A.
|
||
|
|
/[aA]|[bB]/ Matches an instance of a or A or b or B; redundant in this case, as it is the same as /[aAbB]/.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|

|

|

|
|
#The [] special characters enable you to define patterns that match one of a group of alternatives.!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, the following pattern matches def or dEf:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/d[eE]f/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#Combine [] with + to match a sequence of characters of any length.!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/d[eE]+f/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This matches all of the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
def
|
||
|
|
dEf
|
||
|
|
deef
|
||
|
|
dEef
|
||
|
|
dEEEeeeEef
|
||
|
|
|
