Hi,
[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}\@[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}
I was given this to use to find all the emails
in a very large document.
I want to try and understand what the
symbols mean and what the process is called
when using Find/Replace in Word, you can enable "Use Wildcards" to find e.
g. special items or groups of characters (or to exclude them from search
results).
You will find a description of wildcards in those articles:
"Wildcards for items you want to find and replace", "Codes that work in the
Replace with box only"
