2.Regular expression character classes Character Matches
[...] Any one character between the brackets.[^...] Any one character not between the brackets.. Any character except newline or another Unicode line terminator.\w Any ASCII word character. Equivalent to [a-zA-Z0-9_].\W Any character that is not an ASCII word character. Equivalent to [^a-zA-Z0-9_].\s Any Unicode whitespace character.\S Any character that is not Unicode whitespace. Note that \w and \S are not the same thing.\d Any ASCII digit. Equivalent to [0-9].\D Any character other than an ASCII digit. Equivalent to [^0-9].[\b] A literal backspace (special case).3. Regular expression repetition characters Character Meaning{n,m} Match the previous item at least n times but no more than m times.{n,} Match the previous item n or more times.{n} Match exactly n occurrences of the previous item.? Match zero or one occurrences of the previous item. That is, the previous item is optional. Equivalent to {0,1}.+ Match one or more occurrences of the previous item. Equivalent to {1,}.* Match zero or more occurrences of the previous item. Equivalent to {0,}.4。 Regular expression alternation, grouping, and reference characters Character Meaning| Alternation. Match either the subexpression to the left or the subexpression to the right.(...) Grouping. Group items into a single unit that can be used with *, +, ?, |, and so on. Also remember the characters that match this group for use with later references.(?:...) Grouping only. Group items into a single unit, but do not remember the characters that match this group.\n Match the same characters that were matched when group number n was first matched. Groups are subexpressions within (possibly nested) parentheses. Group numbers are assigned by counting left parentheses from left to right. Groups formed with (?: are not numbered.5. Regular-expression anchor characters Character Meaning^ Match the beginning of the string and, in multiline searches, the beginning of a line.$ Match the end of the string and, in multiline searches, the end of a line.\b Match a word boundary. That is, match the position between a \w character and a \W character or between a \w character and the beginning or end of a string. (Note, however, that [\b] matches backspace.)\B Match a position that is not a word boundary.(?=p) A positive lookahead assertion. Require that the following characters match the pattern p, but do not include those characters in the match.(?!p) A negative lookahead assertion. Require that the following characters do not match the pattern p.6. Regular-expression flags Character Meaningi Perform case-insensitive matching.g Perform a global matchthat is, find all matches rather than stopping after the first match.m Multiline mode. ^ matches beginning of line or beginning of string, and $ matches end of line or end of string.string.replace(regexp, replacement)
