Question

I’m attempting to write a regex that will match the commonly used programming langauge operators. This is the regex string I’m using (it’s part of a larger expression):

[>|<|>=|<=|==|!=]

This matches against “>”, “<” but it doesn’t match any of the others. I’ve tried escaping them like \>\= or \=\= but it doesn’t make a difference.

I’m sure this is very simple and I’m missing something obvious.

Answer 1

[ ] - match one character

( ) - match group of characters

so:

(>=|<=|>|<|==|!=)
