Using special characters and regular expression flags

Special characters in regular expressions the regular expressions further extend their flexibility in advanced use cases.

The caret ‘^’ reverses the meaning of a regular expression element. For example, [^KLM] matches a single character that is not K, L, or M.
A backslash ‘\’ followed by a lowercase ‘w’, \w, means a word character (an alphanumeric character or an underscore ‘_’). It has the same meaning as [a-zA-Z_0-9].
A backslash ‘\’ followed by a lowercase ‘s’, \s, means a white space character. It has the same meaning as [\t\n\x0b\r\f].
The flag (?i) makes the regular expression case insensitive. In Foglight for Infrastructure, the Add OS Monitor wizard uses this flag in the Resource Mapping regular expression. For example: (?i).*host.*.
The flag (?x) allows you to add comments to explain a complex or unusual pattern. The comment starts with a number sign ‘#’. For example: (?x)[KLM]:.* # We dislike drives K through M.

Grouping elements in a pattern

The regular expression syntax provides a way to group elements together and use groups together with other operators, as required.

For example, to match the above group ((\\.[A-Za-z]+)) zero or more times, write (\\.[A-Za-z]+)*.
For example, to use a prefix that is either dev or prod, write (dev|prod).
