如果在”[]”中出現(xiàn)了”^”，代表本表達(dá)式不匹配”[]”內(nèi)出現(xiàn)的字符，比如”/[^a-z]/”不匹配任何小寫(xiě)字母！并且正則表達(dá)式給出了幾種”[]”的默認(rèn)值，如下：

‘[:alnum:]’ 匹配任何字母
Alphanumeric characters: ‘[:alpha:]’ and ‘[:digit:]’.

‘[:alpha:]’ 匹配任何字母和數(shù)字
Alphabetic characters: ‘[:lower:]’ and ‘[:upper:]’.

‘[:blank:]’
Blank characters: space and tab.

‘[:cntrl:]’
Control characters. In ASCII, these characters have octal codes 000 through 037, and 177 (‘DEL’). In other character sets, these are the equivalent characters, if any.

‘[:digit:]’ 匹配任何數(shù)字
Digits: ‘0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9’.

‘[:graph:]’
Graphical characters: ‘[:alnum:]’ and ‘[:punct:]’.

‘[:lower:]’ 匹配任何小寫(xiě)字母
Lower-case letters: ‘a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w
x y z’.
‘[:print:]’
Printable characters: ‘[:alnum:]’, ‘[:punct:]’, and space.

‘[:punct:]’ 匹配任何標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)
Punctuation characters: ‘! ” # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , – . / : ; < = > ? @ [ ] ^ _ ‘ { | } ~’.

‘[:space:]’ 匹配空格符
Space characters: tab, newline, vertical tab, form feed, carriage
return, and space.

‘[:upper:]’ 匹配任何大寫(xiě)字母
Upper-case letters: ‘A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W
X Y Z’.

‘[:xdigit:]’ 匹配任何16進(jìn)制數(shù)字
Hexadecimal digits: ‘0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F a b c d e f’.

For example, ‘[[:alnum:]]’ means ‘[0-9A-Za-z]’, except the latter depends upon the ‘C’ locale and the ASCII character encoding, whereas the former is independent of locale and character set. (Note that the brackets in these class names are part of the symbolic names, and must
be included in addition to the brackets delimiting the bracket expression.)

[$]方括號(hào)內(nèi)包含的是一個(gè)匹配字符范圍，前面加上^,即是代表不匹配指定的字符范圍。
$ereg代表的是一個(gè)變量，即$是變量的標(biāo)志，這個(gè)式子的整體意思就是：
ereg代表的是一個(gè)具有以字母開(kāi)頭第二個(gè)是字母或數(shù)字的所有字符串。
