[^] Any characters except for those after the caret "^". ^The start of a line (column 1). $The end of a line (not the line break characters).\<The start of a word. \>The end of a word. \tThe tab character. \fThe page break (form feed) character. \nA new line character, for matching expressions that span line boundaries. This cannot be followed by operators '*', '+' or {}. Do not use this for constraining matches to the end of a line. It's much more efficient to use "$".

7 \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 such expressions.\|Matches either the expression to its left or its right. *Matches zero or more preceding zero or one preceding characters/expressions. +Matches one or more preceding characters/ expressions.{count} Matches the specified number of the preceding characters or expressions.{min,} Matches at least the specified number of the preceding characters or expressions.{min,max}Matches between min and max of the preceding characters or expressions. \"Escapes" the special meaning of the above expressions, so that they can be matched as literal characters. [:alpha:]Any letter. [:lower:]Any lower case letter. [:upper:]Any upper case letter.

8 [:alnum:]Any digit or letter. [:digit:]Any digit. [:xdigit:]Any hexadecimal digit (0-9, a-f or A-F). [:blank:]Space or tab. [:space:]Space, tab, vertical tab, return, line feed, form feed. [:cntrl:]Control characters (Delete and ASCII codes less than space). [:print:]Printable characters, including space. [:graph:]Printable characters, excluding space. [:punct:]Anything that is not a control or alphanumeric character. [:word:]Letters, hypens and apostrophes. [:token:]Any of the characters defined on the Syntax page for the document class, or in the syntax definition file if syntax highlighting is enabled for the document class. Replacement Expressions&Substitute the text matching the entire search pattern. \0 to \9 Substitute the text matching tagged expression 0 through 9. \0 is equivalent to &.

9 \fSubstitute a page break (form feed). \i<no> Substitute a sequence number. \n Substitute a newline. \p Substitute the contents of the clipboard. \t Substitute a tab. \xdd Substitute the character with hex code dd (must be 2 hex digits, excluding 00). \u Force the next substituted character to be in upper case. \l Force the next substituted character to be in lower case. \U Force all subsequent substituted characters to be in upper case. \L Force all subsequent substituted characters to be in lower case. \E or \e Turns off previous \U or \L.
