How do you simplify regular expressions?
Here are a few laws that can be used to simplify regular expressions. ?? L(? + ?) = L(?) ?? ? + ? ? ?. Laws (9.12) and (9.13) are not equations but rules from which one can derive equations from other equations.
What does {} do in regex?
A string within square brackets specifies any of the characters in string. Thus [abc], if compared to other strings, would match any that contained a, b, or c. Integer values enclosed in {} indicate the number of times to apply the preceding regular expression.
What is the difference between A+ and a * in regex?
a* means that "a" must occur zero or more times. a+ means that "a" most occur one or more times. In other words, a* allows an empty string, while a+ doesn't (unless a itself allows an empty string). To write it: If your editor allows it easily, a? and a+ are preferable, because they are correct.
To match a character having special meaning in regex, you need to use a escape sequence prefix with a backslash ( \\ ). E.g., \\. matches "." ; regex \\+ matches "+" ; and regex \\( matches "(" . You also need to use regex \\\\ to match "\\" (back-slash).
