Regex Extension: Frontier Constants

Part of the Regex Documentation website.

Frontier Constants

The following three character shortcuts, or Frontier constants, are supported in the regex extension.
Since Frontier recognises these constants, the backslash does not have to be escaped - unlike every other backslash used when passing parameters to the regex engine.

\r carriage return Match the ascii carriage return character
Example
regex.easyMatch ("\r", char (13))
   » true

\n line feed Match the ascii line feed character
Example
regex.easyMatch ("\n", char (10))
   » true

\t tab Match the ascii tab character
Example
regex.easyMatch ("\t", char (9))
   » true
