foo.*bar |
zero or more ocuurance | foobar,fooabar,fooxxbar,fooabcbar |
foo\s*bar |
\s represent single space |
foo bar,foo bar,foo bar |

[^fcl]oo |
Any character except fcl | moo,zoo,koo |
[j-m]oo |
Character range from j to m | moo,joo,koo |
[j-mz]oo |
Character range from j to m and z | moo,joo,koo,loo,zoo |
[j-mJ-Mz]oo |
Character range from j to m and z | Moo,joo,koo,Loo,zoo |
x*[.#&]y* |
No need to escape period in square bracket..escape added for md file for or symbol | x.y,xx#yyy,x&y |
^foo.* |
start with foo after that any thing | foo bar,fooadfvfv,foo bar baz |
.*bar$ |
End with bar before that any thing | foo baz bar,baz foo bar |
x*[\^\-]y* |
^ and - has special meaning so need to escape in bracket | |
x*[\\]y* |
\ need to be escaped anywhere present | |
^[0-9]{3}$ |
a{m} Ex.^[0-9][0-9][0-9]$ This number signifies the number of repetitions.So a followed by the number 'm' in curly braces means exactly 'm' repetitions of the letter 'a'. |
321,345,999 |
^[a-z]{4,6}$ |
So m and n denote the range of repetitions So if we say a, it represents at least 'm' repetitions of the letter 'a' and at most 'n' repetitions of the letter 'a'. | lion,tiger,cuckoo |
(ha){4,} |
Parantheses are used to treat a group of characters as a single entity. We will enclose the 'h' and 'a' together in parantheses. So when the regex engine sees the curly brace repeater, it will take whatever is inside the parantheses and apply the repetition to it.So this means at least 4 repetitions of 'ha' should be present.The maximum repetitions coulde be anything. | hahahaha, hahahahaha, hahahahaha |
fooa+bar |
One or more occurrences of a | fooabar,fooaabar |
http?s://website |
Zero or one repetition of s | http://website,https://website |
(log|ply)wood |
log or ply | logwood, plywood |
- Caret is used as a negation symbol,but ONLY if it is within square brackets or within a character class.
