What is regular expression in SAP BC-CST-IC - Internet Communication Manager?

SAP Term: regular expression

• Component: BC-CST-IC

• Component Name: Internet Communication Manager

• Description: The concept of regular expressions is not specific to SAP, and you will find information about them in technical literature. The POSIX standard is used here for regular expressions "POSIX 1003.2, section 2.8 Regular Expression Notation". The only exception to the standard is the use of "$" in the substitution expression. With $n with n = 0..9 the n-th expression, which in the search string is enclosed in parentheses as a group and was found in the search, can be referenced. Example: With string "/abc/index.html" and regular expression "/a/.*/.*" the result is $1 = "bc" and $2 = "index.html"
