Regular Expressions
===================

This is a standard Regular Expressions.
They are realized in almost all languages like C, C++, Python, JavaScript, bash, Perl, PHP, Ruby and others.
Some times such expressions called "Perl-like" as they were popularized within Perl at first.

AFANASY uses this expressions in hosts mask, depend masks and other patterns.
