Repetition takes precedence over concatenation, which in turn takes precedence over alternation. Two regular expressions may be joined by the infix operator "|" the resulting regular expression matches any string matching either subexpression. Two regular expressions may be concatenated the resulting regular expression matches any string formed by concatenating two substrings that respectively match the concatenated subexpressions. Match the empty string at the end of word. Matches the empty string provided it's not at the edge of a word. To interpret the pattern as an extended regular expression, use the -E ( or -extended-regexp) option. In its simplest form, when no regular expression type is given, grep interpret search patterns as basic regular expressions. Matches the empty string at the edge of a word. GNU grep supports three regular expression syntaxes, Basic, Extended, and Perl-compatible. Matches the empty string at the end of a line. Matches the empty string at the beginning of a line also represents the characters not in the range of a list. Represents the range if it's not first or last in a list or the ending point of a range in a list. The preceding item is matched at least N times, but not more than M times. The preceding item is matched N or more times. The preceding item is matched exactly N times. The preceding item will be matched one or more times. The preceding item will be matched zero or more times. The preceding item is optional and will be matched, at most, once. Regular expression metacharacters Ī regular expression may be followed by one of several repetition operators (metacharacters): Any metacharacter with special meaning may be quoted by preceding it with a backslash. Most characters, including all letters and digits, are regular expressions that match themselves. The fundamental building blocks are the regular expressions that match a single character. Regular expressions are constructed analogously to arithmetic expressions by using various operators to combine smaller expressions. since this is the only line in someFile.txt starting with an upper case letter. When someFile.txt contains: fred 14 m foo sam 68 m bar christina 83 f baz bob 22 m qux Sam 41 m quux. Regular expressions What are regular expressions? Ī regular expression is a pattern that describes a set of strings. The search pattern can also be a regular expression. 1.3 Basic versus extended regular expressions.
