- 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 (there are , except some MySQL regular expressions, that are not supported by translate5. Contact the translate5 support team for more information).
- The following list contains the regular expressions which are not supported by translte5
- The following table illustrates some commonly used metacharacters and constructs in a regular expression.

The following table illustrates some commonly used metacharacters and constructs in a regular expression, that are allowed to use in translate5:
Metacharacter Behavior ^ 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 | matches string "a" or string "b" divided with the separator The following list contains the regular expressions and regular expressions, which are not supported by translate5, because they are black-listed:
Regex Description \n Character escape \r Character escape \t Character escape \f Character escape \v Character escape \0 NULL escape \1 or \2 etc. Octal escape (Any character with a character code lower than 256 ex: \251)\^ or \] or \- or \\ \ (backslash) followed by any of ^-]\ \b javascript: [\b\t] matches a backspace or a tab character. \B javascript: \B. matches b, c, e, and f in abc def \d Shorthand Character Classes \D Shorthand Character Classes \s Shorthand Character Classes \S Shorthand Character Classes \w Shorthand Character Classes \W Shorthand Character Classes \h Shorthand Character Classes ?? e. g. a regular expression like abc?? is not supported. *? +? OTHERS Other regular expressions, that are similar to the listed expressions are also not supported. The front-end of translate5 will tell you, if a regex is not supported. Please contact translate5 lead development at MittagQI, if you have more questions about this.
