Regular expressions are common and useful enough that it’s worthwhile to take some time to understand how they work. Let’s start by looking at the one we used above: /.*Disconnected from /. Regular expressions are usually (though not always) surrounded by /. Most ASCII characters just carry their normal meaning, but some characters have “special” matching behavior. Exactly which characters do what vary somewhat between different implementations of regular expressions, which is a source of great frustration. Very common patterns are:
