The **&** marker is a place holder for 'whatever matched the regular expression'. +- **s/hsa-mir-([^ ]+)/short name: \\1 full name: &/** will find strings such as 'hsa-mir-43a' (the regular expression is 'hsa-mir-' followed by non-space characters) and will replace it will string such as 'short name: 43a full name: hsa-mir-43a'. The **\\1** marker is a place holder for 'whatever matched the first parenthesis' (similar to perl's **$1**) . + + +**sed's Regular Expression Syntax** + +The select tool searches the data for lines containing or not containing a match to the given pattern. A Regular Expression is a pattern descibing a certain amount of text. + +- **( ) { } [ ] . * ? + \ ^ $** are all special characters. **\\** can be used to "escape" a special character, allowing that special character to be searched for. +- **^** matches the beginning of a string(but not an internal line). +- **(** .. **)** groups a particular pattern. +- **{** n or n, or n,m **}** specifies an expected number of repetitions of the preceding pattern. + + - **{n}** The preceding item is matched exactly n times. + - **{n,}** The preceding item ismatched n or more times. + - **{n,m}** The preceding item is matched at least n times but not more than m times. + +- **[** ... **]** creates a character class. Within the brackets, single characters can be placed. A dash (-) may be used to indicate a range such as **a-z**. +- **.** Matches any single character except a newline. +- ***** The preceding item will be matched zero or more times. +- **?** The preceding item is optional and matched at most once. +- **+** The preceding item will be matched one or more times. +- **^** has two meaning: + - matches the beginning of a line or string. + - indicates negation in a character class. For example, [^...] matches every character except the ones inside brackets. +- **$** matches the end of a line or string. +- **\|** Separates alternate possibilities. + + +**Note**: SED uses extended regular expression syntax, not Perl syntax. **\\d**, **\\w**, **\\s** etc. are **not** supported. + +@REFERENCES@ +]]> + </help> +</tool>
