A regular expression is a text mode composed of normal characters (such as characters a to z) and special characters (called metammatics). This mode describes one or more strings to be matched when the text body is looking for. Regular expression As a template, a character mode matches the search string.
Here are some regular expressions that may encounter:
JScriptvbscript Match / ^ / [/ T] * $ / "^ / [/ t] * $" matches a blank line. // D {2} - / d {5} / "/ d {2} - / d {5}" Verify that one ID number is composed of a 2-digit, a hyphen, and a 5-digit. /< (.*)>.*
/ "< (.*)>.*
"Match an HTML tag.
The table below is a complete list of metamorphic and its behavior in the regular expression context:
Character Description / Tag the next character as a special character, or a primary character, or a backward reference, or an octave. For example, 'n' matches characters "n". '/ n' matches a newline. Sequence '//' match "/" "/ (" matches "(". ^ Match the input string of the start position. If the multiline property of the regexp object is set, ^ also matches '/ n' or '/ r' The next location. $ Match the end position of the input string. If the multiline property of the regexp object is set, $ also matches the position before '/ n' or '/ r'. * Match the previous sub-expression zero or multiple times For example, ZO * can match "z" and "zoo". * Equivalent to {0,}. Match the previous sub-expression once or more. For example, 'ZO ' can match "ZO" and "ZOO" However, it cannot match "Z". Equivalent to {1,}. • Match the previous sub-expression zero or once. For example, "Do (es)" can match "do" or "does" "" " Do ".? Is equivalent to {0,1}. {n} n is a non-negative integer. Match the N times. For example, 'o {2}' does not match" Bob "'o', but can Match two O. {n,} n is a non-negative integer. At least n times. For example, 'o {2,}' does not match 'O' in "Bob", but can match " All O.'o {1,} 'in fooood is equivalent to' o '.' o {0,} 'is equivalent to' o * '. {n, m} M and N are non-negative integers Where n <= m. Minimize n times and match M times. For example, "o {1, 3}" will match the top three O.'o {0, 1} 'in "foooood". 'o?'. Please note that there is no space between commas and two numbers.? When this character is tight in any other restriction (*, ,?, {n}, {n,}, {n, M}), when the matching mode is non-greedy. Non-greedy mode matches the search string as little as possible, and the default greed mode is as much as possible to match the search string. For example, for strings "OOOO ", 'O ?' Will match a single" O ", and 'o ' will match all 'o' .. Match any individual characters other than" / n ". To match any characters including '/ n' Please use the mode of '[./n]'. (Pattern) matches Pattern and get this match. The acquired match can be obtained from the generated Matches collection, using the Submatches collection in VBScript, using $ 0 in JScript ... $ 9 properties. To match the bracket character, use '/ (' or '/)'. (12 :Pattern) match Patte Rn but does not acquire the matching result, that is, this is a non-acquired match, not for storage for storage. This is useful to use the "or" character (|) to combine a pattern.
For example, 'industr (?: Y | iES) is a smale of' Industry | Industries'. (? = pattern) Positive to check, match the lookup string at any string of Pattern. This is a non-acquisition match, that is, the match does not need to be used later. For example, 'Windows (? = 95 | 98 | NT | 2000)' Map "Windows" in Windows 2000, but does not match "Windows" in "Windows 3.1". It is not consumed by the character, that is, after a match occurs, start the next matching search immediately after the last match, not starting from the character containing the pre-check. (?! pattern) Negative review, match the lookup string at any string of Pattern. This is a non-acquisition match, that is, the match does not need to be used later. For example, 'Windows (?! 95 | 98 | NT | 2000) "can match" Windows "in Windows 3.1, but cannot match" Windows "in" Windows 2000 ". It is not consumed by the character, that is, after a match occurs, start the next matching search immediately after the last match, not the X | Y, which matches X or Y after the character containing the queue. For example, 'Z | Food' can match "z" or "food". '(z | f) OOD' matches "Zood" or "Food". [XYZ] Character collection. Match any of the included characters. For example, '[abc]' can match 'a' in "Plain". [^ XYZ] Negative character set. Match any of the characters that are not included. For example, '[^ ABC]' can match 'P' in "Plain". [A-Z] character range. Match any of the characters within the specified range. For example, '[a-z]' can match any lowercase alphabetic characters in the 'A' to 'Z' range. [^ a-z] Negative character range. Match any of any characters that are not within the specified range. For example, '[^ a-z]' can match any of any characters that are not in the 'A' to 'Z'. / b Match a word boundary, that is, the location of the words and spaces. For example, 'er / b' can match 'ER' in "Never", but do not match 'Er' in "Verb". / B matches non-word boundary. 'ER / B' can match 'Er' in "Verb", but cannot match 'Er' in "Never". / CX matches the control character indicated by x. For example, / cm matches a Control-M or an Enterprise. The value of x must be one of A-Z or A-Z. Otherwise, the C is treated as a primary 'c' character. / d Match a numeric character. Equivalent to [0-9]. / D Match a non-digital character. Equivalent to [^ 0-9]. / f Match a change page. Equivalent to / x0c and / cl. / n Match a newline. Equivalent to / x0a and / cj. / r Match a carriage return. Equivalent to / X0D and / cm. / s Match any blank character, including spaces, tabs, change page, and the like.
