Sorry to be so pedantic - https://www.computerhope.com/unix/regex-quickref.htm
PS: now I'm waiting for another pedant to point out the inaccuracy in what I've just written - whether it refers to:
nil, one, one one, one one one, ...
in other words the sequence of words, or the objects which the words refer to. Oh isn't this fun?
Ah - but in this poster the star refers to the footnote - in very small print.Last edited by Dave2002; 05-04-20, 16:00.

Not a joke, but it made me laugh, and my old Mum even more. A woman wrote into a radio show today. They were talking about Easter type things. She said that she had been in Norwich Cathedral gift shop and overheard the following:
Visitor: Do you have any crucifixes?
Shop attendant: Yes. We have two types. Plain ones and ones with a little man on them.
