Table 6 Special characters supported in a regular expression

Character Meaning Remarks

^string

Starting sign. Matches a line that
starts with string.

For example, regular expression "^user" matches a
line beginning with "user", not "Auser".

string$

Ending sign. Matches a line that
ends with string.

For example, regular expression "user$" only
matches a line ending with "user", not "userA".

.

Matches any single character, such
as a single character, a special

character, and a blank.

For example, ".s" matches both "as" and "bs".

*

Matches the preceding character or
character group zero or multiple
times.

For example, "zo*" matches "z" and "zoo";
"(zo)*" matches "zo" and "zozo".

+

Matches the preceding character or
character group one or multiple

times

For example, "zo+" matches "zo" and "zoo", but
not "z".

|

Matches the preceding or
succeeding character string

For example, "def|int" only matches a character
string containing "def" or "int".

_

If it is at the beginning or the end of a
regular expression, it equals ^ or $.

In other cases, it equals comma,
space, round bracket, or curly

bracket.

For example, "a_b" matches "a b" or "a(b"; "_ab"
only matches a line starting with "ab"; "ab_" only
matches a line ending with "ab".

-

It connects two values (the smaller
one before it and the bigger one

after it) to indicate a range together

with [ ].

For example, "1-9" means 1 to 9 (inclusive); "a-h"
means a to h (inclusive).

[ ]

Matches a single character
contained within the brackets.

For example, [16A] matches a string containing
any character among 1, 6, and A; [1-36A] matches
a string containing any character among 1, 2, 3, 6,

and A (- is a hyphen).
"]" can be matched as a common character only

when it is put at the beginning of characters within
the brackets, for example [ ]string]. There is no such

limit on "[".

( )

A character group. It is usually used
with "+" or "*".

For example, (123A) means a character group
"123A"; "408(12)+" matches 40812 or

408121212. But it does not match 408.
