Text-pattern
A text-pattern is a sequence of
alphanumeric characters
and wildcard characters.
Text-patterns are used in "Find and Replace", if the "Regular Expressions"
option is enabled. Regular Expressions
allow to search for text with similar structures.
For example, the regular expression "\<.*ed\>" finds (or matches) any word that ends with "ed". Here we use three different wildcard characters "\<" representing the beginning of a word, ".*" representing any number of characters or numbers, "\>" representing the end of a word.
