Suppose we have a list of teams, named like this: Team A
, Team B
, ..., Team Z
. Then:
Team [AB]
: This will match either either Team A
or Team B
Team [^AB]
: This will match any team except Team A
or Team B
We often need to match characters that "belong" together in some context or another (like letters from A
through Z
), and this is what character classes are for.
