Regular Expressions Language Elements

Most of the important Regular Expression language operators are unescaped single characters. The escape character \ (a single backslash) signals the Regular Expression parser that the character following the backslash is not an operator. For example, Regular Expression treats * as a repeating quantifier and \* as the Unicode character 002A.

Regular Expression supports lazy (minimal matching) quantifiers, lookahead, and nonbacktracking subexpressions.
