Dart regular expressions have the same syntax and semantics as JavaScript regular expressions. See http://ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-15.10 for the specification of JavaScript regular expressions.
This means that any JavaScript resource you find about Regular Expressions online applies to dart.
var regExp = new RegExp(r"(\w+)");
var str = "Parse my string";
Iterable<Match> matches = regExp.allMatches(str);
It's a good idea to use "raw strings" (prefix with r
)
when writing regular expressions so you can use unescaped backslashes in your expression.
