Description
Please make a one new example which show the difference between:
greedy / possessive / lazy
i think the best example (simplest) can be done by using this "methodes":
? 0 or 1, greedy. ?+ 0 or 1, possessive. ?? 0 or 1, lazy.
justification:
in SRE these methodes are very important and used in many different ways:
? 0 or 1, greedy. ?+ 0 or 1, possessive. ?? 0 or 1, lazy. * 0 or more, greedy. *+ 0 or more, possessive. *? 0 or more, lazy. + 1 or more, greedy. ++ 1 or more, possessive. +? 1 or more, lazy. {x} exactly x. {x,y} at least x and no more than y, greedy. {x,y}+ at least x and no more than y, possessive. {x,y}? at least x and no more than y, lazy. {x,} x or more, greedy. {x,}+ x or more, possessive. {x,}? x or more, lazy.
It would be good to make clear example showing the difference between these methods
I know that it is now a good description of the greatly expanded but always better example demonstrates the use, in other words:
code is better than words ;)
