Usage
Take a look at the following regular expressions (patterns):
|
m/abc/ /abc/ m^abc^ |
Regular expressions are normally delimited by forward slashes. In Perl you can use m@ and @ as delimiters, where @ can be any non-alphanumeric, non-whitespace character. The m is optional if you use forward slashes.
The above regexp matches any one of the following strings:
|
"abcdef" "defabc" ".=.abc.=." |
But doesn't match any of these:
|
"fedcba" "ab c" "JavaScript" |
