Table C-1	Description of Special Characters in Regular Expressions
	To…	Use…	Example
	Match the end of a	match_expression$	To match all
	line		occurrences of stack
			that occur at the end of
			a line, enter:
			stack$
	Match entire lines	^match_expression	The following regular
		$	expression would match
			all occurrences of
			stack_push as long as
			it appeared on a line by
			itself:
			^stack_push$
	Repeat a single	single_character*	To match ab, followed
	character		by any number of c's,
			followed by a d (for
			example, abcd, abccd,
			and abcccd), enter:
			abc*d
			Also note that "any
			number of" includes
			zero occurrences of a
			character. Therefore,
			the string "abd" would
			also match.
	Repeat a	[match_string]*	To match ab, followed
	[match_string]		by any sequence of
			digits, followed by c,
			enter:
			ab[0-9]*c
