This section covers the regular expression syntax used by this library, this
|
|
|
|
|
is a programmers guide, the actual syntax presented to your program's users
|
|
|
|
|
will depend upon the flags used during expression compilation.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
There are three main syntax options available, depending upon how you construct
|
|
|
|
|
the regular expression object:

You can also construct a regular expression that treats every character as
|
|
|
|
|
a literal, but that's not really a "syntax"!
