----
The fundamental building blocks are the regular expressions that match a
single character.  Most characters, including  all  letters and

backslash.

----
The fundamental building blocks are the regular expressions that match a
single character.  Most characters, including  all  letters and digits,
are regular expressions that match themselves.  The newline character is
used to separate patterns in the regular expression and thus cannot be
matched explicitly.  Any metacharacter with special meaning may be
quoted by preceding it with a backslash.
