Yes, you understood correctly.

If you are using

[example]
it won't match the word example, but a single letter that can be any of the e, x, a, m, p, and l.

Hi Teddy,
Are you saying that I need to remove the brackets to match either the word
function or the word script? Are you also saying that with the brackets, I
would be matching those letters anywhere in the whole line? That's it. I'm
going to get that regular expressions book I saw in one of those
collections Jamal has. I'm determined to learn this the right way.

Thanks.

Hi,

You've used a character class (between [ and ]. Don't use character
classes,
because it will match everything that contains a character from that class.

Hi,
I put builtin.jsd into EdSharp. I want to swap the first word on every
line
with the rest of the line if that line begins with either the word
function
or the word script.

My search expression is this.
(^[function|script])(.*$)

My replacement expression is this.
\2\1

When I execute the replacement operation, the whole line disappears. What
did I do wrong?

Thanks.
