Regexps use elements to instruct the regular expression engine on how to find a given string

A combination of the special characters, enclosed by a pair of slashes (//), makes up a regular expression pattern. ^ Matches the beginning of a line $ Matches the end of a line \w Matches a word character [...] Matches any character in the brackets [^...] Matches any characters not in the brackets * Matches zero or more occurrences of the previous regexp + Matches one or more occurrences of the previous regexp ? Matches zero or one occurrences of the previous regexp
