[^Characters] Contains a character class (set of characters) that FindStr won??™t select. For example,
???w[^ai]ll??? will match the word well, but won??™t match the words wall or will.
[Character-Character] Specifies a range of characters that FindStr will use for selection. For
example, ???[a-z]??? selects all characters a through z, but not numbers or special symbols.
\Character Tells FindStr to use the character literally, rather than as a special character. Programmers
call this process escaping the character. For example, ???z\**??? locates terms that begin with z
followed by 0 or more asterisks within the file.
\???\Characters\> Locates the characters when they appear at the end of a word. For example, ???we\>???
locates the word owe, but not the words welcome and well.
Using regular expressions lets you create complex search patterns that reduce search time and ensure
good results. For example, you could create a telephone number search pattern using the search string
???(.
