Using Expressions to Search for Binary Characters
Search for a sequence of binary characters by using regular expressions to specify hex or decimal char-
acters. Some examples are:
• UNIX or Brief search expressions:
\x0d\x0a\x01\x02
\d13\d10\d1\d2
• SlickEdit® search expressions:
\x0d\x0a\x01\x02
\13\10\1\2
Using Tagged Search Expressions
When you use regular expressions to search for a string, you will often want the replace string to depend
on what was found. Use tagged search expressions to insert parts of what is found into the replace string.
• UNIX regular expressions - Use parentheses ( ) to denote a tagged expression in the search string.
The replace string specifies tagged expressions with a backslash (\) followed by a tag group number
1-9. Count the left parenthesis ( in the search string to determine a tagged expression number. The first
tagged expression is \1 and the last is \0.
• SlickEdit® regular expressions - Use curly braces { } to denote a tagged expression in the search
string. The replace string specifies tagged expressions with a # followed by a tagged expression num-
ber 0-9. Count the left braces { in the search string to determine a tagged expression number. The first
tagged expression is #0.
• Brief regular expressions - Use curly braces { } to denote a tagged expression in the search string.
The replace string specifies tagged expressions with a backslash (\) followed by a tagged expression
number 0-9. Count the left braces { in the search string to determine a tagged expression number. The
first tagged expression is \0.
