fied by its ASCII value. For

Quantifiers
? The question mark makes the
preceding character or string
(enclosed in parentheses)
optional.
For example:
“(Adobe )?GoLive” finds “GoL-
ive” and “Adobe GoLive”.
+ The plus sign finds one or
more occurrences of the pre-
ceding character or search
string in a row.
For example: “ba+” finds “ba”,
“baa”, “baaa”, etc.
* The star is equivalent to a “?”
and a “+”, and can result in a
“not found” message if no
occurrences are found. The
character preceding the “*” is
optional.
For example: “ba*” finds “b”,
“ba”, “baa”, etc.
Other Search String Modifiers
| The vertical bar serves as a
separator for alternative
search strings.
For example: “Adobe|GoL-
ive|4.0” finds “Adobe”, “GoL-
ive”, and “4.0”.
() Parentheses enclose a search
string that serves as a defini-
tion for quantifiers.
For more information, see the
description of “?” above.
