The following tables summarize the regular expression grammar
and syntax supported by the regular expression classes in System.Text.RegularExpressions
. 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).
All the syntax described in Table B-1 through Table B-10 should match the Perl5 syntax, with specific exceptions noted.
