A regular expression (shortened as regex or regexp), [1] sometimes referred to as rational expression, [2] [3] is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text. Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings , or for input validation .
Regex experts should note that \n does not mean "newline," \d does not mean "digit," and so on. Regex experts should note that ^ does not mean "beginning of text" and $ does not mean "end of text." Searching from the beginning or end of a Wikipedia page is not generally useful.
Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) is a library written in C, which implements a regular expression engine, inspired by the capabilities of the Perl programming language. Philip Hazel started writing PCRE in summer 1997. [ 3 ]
A regular expression or regex is a sequence of characters that define a pattern to be searched for in a text. Each occurrence of the pattern may then be automatically replaced with another string, which may include parts of the identified pattern. AutoWikiBrowser uses the .NET flavor of regex. [1]
In theoretical computer science and formal language theory, a regular language (also called a rational language) [1] [2] is a formal language that can be defined by a regular expression, in the strict sense in theoretical computer science (as opposed to many modern regular expression engines, which are augmented with features that allow the recognition of non-regular languages).
RE2 is a software library which implements a regular expression engine. It uses finite-state machines, in contrast to most other regular expression libraries. RE2 supports a C++ interface. RE2 was implemented by Google and Google uses RE2 for Google products. [3]
A generalized regular expression can be one of the following (where a is a symbol of the alphabet A, and R and S are generalized regular expressions): "∅" denotes the empty set: L(∅) = {}, "ε" denotes the singleton set containing the empty string: L(ε) = {ε}, "a" denotes the singleton set containing the single-symbol string a: L(a) = {a},
