In the course of learning regular expression, I was really stuck in the metacharacter which is \b
. I indeed didn't comprehend its meaning while I was asking myself "what it is, what it is" repetitively. After some attempts by using the website, I watch out the pink vertical dashes at the every beginning of words and at the end of words. I got it its meaning well at that time. It's now exactly word(\w
)-boundary.
My view is merely to immensely understanding-oriented. Logic behind of it should be examined from another answers.
