/**
 * Regex provides the parser which constructs the linked list of Pattern classes
 * from a String.
 * <p>
 * For the purpose of this documentation, the fact that java interprets the
 * backslash will be ignored. In practice, however, you will need a double
 * backslash to obtain a string that contains a single backslash character.
 * Thus, the example pattern "\b" should really be typed as "\\b" inside java
 * code.
 * <p>
 * Note that Regex is part of package "com.stevesoft.pat". To use it, simply
 * import com.stevesoft.pat.Regex at the top of your file.
 * <p>
 * Regex is made with a constructor that takes a String that defines the regular
 * expression. Thus, for example
 * 
 * <pre>
 * Regex r = new Regex(&quot;[a-c]*&quot;);
 * </pre>
 * 
 * matches any number of characters so long as the are 'a', 'b', or 'c').
 * <p>
 * To attempt to match the Pattern to a given string, you can use either the
 * search(String) member function, or the matchAt(String,int position) member
 * function. These functions return a boolean which tells you whether or not the
 * thing worked, and sets the methods "charsMatched()" and "matchedFrom()" in
 * the Regex object appropriately.
 * <p>
 * The portion of the string before the match can be obtained by the left()
 * member, and the portion after the match can be obtained by the right()
 * member.
 * <p>
 * Essentially, this package implements a syntax that is very much like the perl
 * 5 regular expression syntax.
 * 
 * Longer example:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * Regex r = new Regex(&quot;x(a|b)y&quot;);
 * r.matchAt(&quot;xay&quot;, 0);
 * System.out.println(&quot;sub = &quot; + r.stringMatched(1));
 * </pre>
 * 
 * The above would print "sub = a".
 * 
 * <pre>
 *  r.left() // would return &quot;x&quot;
 *  r.right() // would return &quot;y&quot;
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Differences between this package and perl5:<br>
 * The extended Pattern for setting flags, is now supported, but the flags are
 * different. "(?i)" tells the pattern to ignore case, "(?Q)" sets the
 * "dontMatchInQuotes" flag, and "(?iQ)" sets them both. You can change the
 * escape character. The pattern
 * 
 * <pre>
 * (?e=#)#d+
 * </pre>
 * 
 * is the same as
 * 
 * <pre>
 * \d+
 * </pre>
 * 
 * , but note that the sequence
 * 
 * <pre>
 * (?e=#)
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <b>must</b> occur at the very beginning of the pattern. There may be other
 * small differences as well. I will either make my package conform or note them
 * as I become aware of them.
 * <p>
 * This package supports additional patterns not in perl5: <center> <table *
 * border=1>
 * <tr>
 * <td>(?@())</td>
 * <td>Group</td>
 * <td>This matches all characters between the '(' character and the balancing
 * ')' character. Thus, it will match "()" as well as "(())". The balancing
 * characters are arbitrary, thus (?@{}) matches on "{}" and "{{}}".</td>
 * <tr>
 * <td>(?&lt1)</td>
 * <td>Backup</td>
 * <td>Moves the pointer backwards within the text. This allows you to make a
 * "look behind." It fails if it attempts to move to a position before the
 * beginning of the string. "x(?&lt1)" is equivalent to "(?=x)". The number, 1
 * in this example, is the number of characters to move backwards.</td>
 * </table>
 * </center>
 * </dl>
