Perl Regular Expression Definition
REGULAR EXPRESSIONS
\z Specifies cursor position if match is found. If the expression
abc\z is found, the cursor is placed after the c. Note that in
UNIX, this is the same as \c. However in Perl, \c is used only
for control characters.
\n Matches newline character sequence. Useful for matching
multi-line search strings. What this matches depends on
whether the buffer is a DOS (ASCII 13,10 or just ASCII 10),
UNIX (ASCII 10), Macintosh (ASCII 13), or user-defined ASCII
file. Use \d10 if you want to match an ASCII 10 character.
\r Matches carriage return (ASCII 13). What this matches
depends on whether the buffer is a DOS (ASCII 13,10 or just
ASCII 10), UNIX (ASCII 10), Macintosh (ASCII 13), or user
defined ASCII file.
\t Matches tab character.
\b Matches at word boundary. For example, \bre matches all
occurrences of “re” that only occur at the beginning of a word.
\B Matches all except at word boundary. For example, \Bre
matches all occurrences of “re” as long as it is not at the start
of a new word.
\Q and \E \Q matches all characters as literals until \E. This is useful for
longer sequences of characters without the need for the
escape character. \Q does not require termination with \E, as it
will continue to match characters literally until the end of the
search string. \E returns to using special character tokens for
matching.
\f Matches form feed character.
\od Matches any 2-byte DBCS character. This escape is only valid
in a match set ([...\od...]). [^\od] matches any single byte
character excluding end-of-line characters. When used to
search Unicode text, this escape does nothing.
\om Turns on multi-line matching. This enhances the match
character set, or match any character primitives to support
matching end-of-line characters. For example, \om.+ matches
the rest of the buffer.
\ol Turns off multi-line matching (default). You can still use \n to
create regular expressions which match one or more lines.
However, expressions like .+ will not match multiple lines. This
is much safer and usually faster than using the \om option.
\oi Ignore case. Turns off case-sensitive matching in the pattern,
overriding the global case setting. This modifier is localized
inside the current grouping level, after which case matching is
restored to the previous case match setting. Note that this is
the equivalent to the Perl syntax ?i. See also \oc.
