.	.	Any single character. Example: h.t matches hat, hit, hot and hut.
[ ]	[ ]	Any one of the characters in the brackets, or any of a range of characters separated by a hyphen (-), or a character class operator (see below). Examples: h[aeiou][a-z] matches hat, hip, hit, hop, and hut; [A-Za-z] matches any single letter; x[0-9] matches x0, x1, …, x9.
[^]	[^]	Any characters except for those after the caret “^”. Example: h[^u]t matches hat, hit, and hot, but not hut.
^	^	The start of a line (column 1).
$	$	The end of a line (not the line break characters). Use this for restricting matches to characters at the end of a line. Example: end$ only matches “end” when it’s the last word on a line, and ^end only matches “end” when it’s the first word on a line.
\<	\<	The start of a word.
\>	\>	The end of a word.
\t	\t	The tab character.
\f	\f	The page break (form feed) character.
\n	\n	A new line character, for matching expressions that span line boundaries. This cannot be followed by operators ‘*’, ‘+’ or {}. Do not use this for constraining matches to the end of a line. It’s much more efficient to use “$”.
\xdd	\xdd	“dd” is the two-digit hexadecimal code for any character.
\( \)	( )	Groups a tagged expression to use in replacement expressions. An RE can have up to 9 tagged expressions, numbered according to their order in the RE. The corresponding replacement expression is \x, for x in the range 1-9. Example: If \([a-z]+\) \([a-z]+\) matches “way wrong”, \2 \1 would replace it with “wrong way”.
*	*	Matches zero or more of the preceding characters or expressions. Example: ho*p matches hp, hop and hoop.
?	?	Matches zero or one of the preceding characters or expressions. Example: ho?p matches hp, and hop, but not hoop.
+	+	Matches one or more of the preceding characters or expressions. Example: ho+p matches hop, and hoop, but not hp.
\{count\}	{count}	Matches the specified number of the preceding characters or expressions. Example: ho\{2\}p matches hoop, but not hop.
\{min,\}	{min,}	Matches at least the specified number of the preceding characters or expressions. Example: ho\{1,\}p matches hop and hoop, but not hp.
\{min,max\}	{min,max}	Matches between min and max of the preceding characters or expressions. Example: ho\{1,2\}p matches hop and hoop, but not hp or hooop.
\’	‘	Matches either the expression to its left or its right. Example: hop\’hoop matches hop, or hoop.
\	\	“Escapes” the special meaning of the above expressions, so that they can be matched as literal characters. Hence, to match a literal “\”, you must use “\\”. Example: \<>
