The following tables summarize the
regular-expression grammar and syntax supported by the
regular-expression classes in System.Text. RegularExpression
. Each of the modifiers and qualifiers in
the tables can substantially change the behavior of the matching and
searching patterns. For further information on regular expressions,
we recommend the definitive Mastering Regular Expressions
by Jeffrey E. F. Friedl (O’Reilly & Associates).
All the syntax described in the tables should match the Perl5 syntax, with specific exceptions noted.
