h1. Regular Expressions

(*UTF8) - Enables utf8 instead of ascii regular expression.

h1. Modifiers

/g /G - Enables global match.

/i /I - Enables Case in-sensitive.

/S - Strips any control codes before matching. 

/s - Enables single line match.

/m /M /c /C - Enables multi line match.

/x /X - Eliminates unescaped white space from the pattern.

/U - Enabled non greedy mode. (Tries to replace greedy patterns with non greedy patterns + > +?, * -> *?)

h1. Differences between .NET and prce

AdiIRC translate some patterns from PRCE into .NET patterns.

<notextile>++ -> +</notextile>

[:alnum:] -> a-zA-Z0-9

[:alpha:] -> a-zA-Z

[:ascii:] -> \x00-\x7F

[:blank:] -> \s\t

[:cntrl:] -> \x00-\x1F\x7F

[:digit:] -> 0-9

[:graph:] -> \x21-\x7E

[:lower:] -> a-z

[:print:] -> \x20-\x7E

[:punct:] -> !"#$%&'()*+,\-./:;<=>?@[\\\]^_`{|}~

[:space:] -> \s\t\r\n\v\f

[:upper:] -> A-Z

[:word:] - > A-Za-z0-9_"

[:xdigit:] -> A-Fa-f0-9

\cc -> \x003

\co -> \x00F

\cb -> \x002

\x\{([A-Fa-f0-9]{1,4})\} -> \uXXXX

\K is not available in .NET, use (<=abc)d instead.

These are not available and have no .NET counterpart:

code (?{…})

recursive (R), (R1), (R&name) (?R)

define (DEFINE).
