^{Home | Features | Improve this section}

Quoted Characters are a sequence of characters treated as literal characters rather than RegExp characters.

Syntax

^{Improve this section}

NOTE: The following syntax is an example based on some of the supported engines. For specific engine support, see Engines.

• \Q…\E — All characters following \Q and preceding the next \E are treated as literal characters. Example: \Q.+\E matches .+ but not aa.
• \Q… — If there is no trailing \E, all characters until the end of the pattern are treated as literal characters.
