Word Operators

The operators in this section require Regex to recognize parts of words. Regex uses a syntax table to determine whether or not a character is part of a word, i.e., whether or not it is word-constituent.

• Non-Emacs Syntax Tables
• Match-word-boundary Operator: \b
• Match-within-word Operator: \B
• Match-beginning-of-word Operator: \<
• Match-end-of-word Operator: \>
• Match-word-constituent Operator: \w
• Match-non-word-constituent Operator: \W
