  • Use for search:
    • Normal search: Match the string given in the Search field
    • Wildcards: The string can contain the wildcard characters 
      • ? (single character) 
      • * (any group of characters)
    • Regular expression: The search string is interpreted as a MySQL regular expression, except some regular expressions, that are black-listed for technical reasons.
      • Please see the MySQL regular expression documentation for details on how to use regular expressions
      • The following list contains the regular expressions which are not supported by translate5, because they are black-listed:

                /\\u[a-fA-F0-9]{4}/g,//Matches a specific Unicode code pointe. g. \u78af //Specific Unicode code points can not be searched with regular expressions. The code point shown here is an example.
                /\(\?\:.*?\)/g,//Non-capturing parentheses group the regex so you can apply regex operators, but do not capture anything.
                /\(.*?\)=\\[0-9]/g,//(abc|def)=\1 matches abc=abc or def=def, but not abc=def or def=abc.
                /\(\?\=.*?\)/g,//Matches at a position where the pattern inside the lookahead can be matched. Matches only the position. It does not consume any characters or expand the match. In a pattern like one(?=two)three, both two and three have to match at the position where the match of one ends.
                /\(\?\!.*?\)/g,//Similar to positive lookahead, except that negative lookahead only succeeds if the regex inside the lookahead fails to match.
                /\[\:(.*)\:\]/g,


      • The following table illustrates some commonly used metacharacters and constructs in a regular expression.

        MetacharacterBehavior
        ^matches the position at the beginning of the searched string
        $matches the position at the end of the searched string
        […]matches any character specified inside the square brackets
        [^…]matches any character not specified inside the square brackets
        *matches the preceding character zero or more times
        +matches preceding character one or more times
        {n}matches n number of instances of the preceding character
        {m,n}matches from m to n number of instances of the preceding character
