Regex for two names. thank you Repetition in regex by default is greedy: they try to match as many reps as possible, and when this doesn't work and they have to backtrack, they try to match one fewer rep at a time, until a match of the whole pattern is found. This means "match any number of characters that are either whitespace or non-whitespace" - effectively "match any string". . As a result, when a match finally happens, a greedy repetition would match as many reps as possible. In case it is JS it indicates the start and end of the regex, like quotes for strings. For example, the regex [0-9] matches the strings "9" as well as "A9B", but the regex ^[0-9]$ only matches "9". Could you explain me with some examples their usefulness? I don't understand them enough. Jun 1, 2017 ยท Specifically when does ^ mean "match start" and when does it mean "not the following" in regular expressions? From the Wikipedia article and other references, I've concluded it means the former a In case it is JS it indicates the start and end of the regex, like quotes for strings. In regex in general, ^ is negation only at the beginning of a character class. Unless CMake is doing something really funky (to the point where calling their pattern matching language "regex" could be regarded as misleading or incorrect) I'm guessing the fact that it worked for you was an isolated accident. sywo zaco vmts zgxql rew glkofaq kykom mjinnia qzchw upd
