Slick V3.3 manual Unix Regular Expression Definition Xn1,?, N2?, Xn1,n2?, ?!X, ?dX

	UNIX Regular Expressions
UNIX Regular Expression		Definition
X{n1,}?		Minimal match of at least n1 occurrences of X.
X{,n2}?		Minimal match of at least zero occurrences but not
		more than n2 occurrences of X.
X{n1,n2}?		Minimal match of at least n1 occurrences but not
		more than n2 occurrences of X.
(?!X)		Search fails if expression X is matched. The ex-
		pression ^(?!if) matches the beginning of all lines
		that do not start with if.
(X)		Matches sub-expression X and specifies a new
		tagged expression (see Using Tagged Search Ex-
		pressions). No more tagged expressions are
		defined once an explicit tagged expression number
		is specified as shown below.
(?dX)		Matches sub-expression X and specifies to use
		tagged expression number d where 0<=d<=9. No
		more tagged expressions are defined by the sub-
		expression syntax (X) once this sub-expression
		syntax is used. This is the best way to make sure
		you have enough tagged expressions.
(?:X)		Matches sub-expression X but does not define a
		tagged expression.
XY		Matches X or Y.
[char-set]		Matches any one of the characters specified by
		char-set. A dash (-) character may be used to
		specify ranges. The expression [A-Z]matches any
		uppercase letter. A backslash (\) may be used in-
		side the square brackets to define literal characters
		or define ASCII characters. For example, \- spe-
		cifies a literal dash character. The expression
		[\d0-\d27]matches ASCII character codes 0..27.
		The expression []] matches a right bracket. In
		SlickEdit® regular expressions, [] matches no char-
		acters. In both syntaxes, the expression [\]]
		matches a right bracket. The expression [^]
		matches a caret (^) character but this does not work
		for SlickEdit regular expressions. In both syntaxes,
		[\^] matches a caret (^) character.
