Explain three applications of Regular expression with an ex {Regular expression in Unix The first enhancement to the regular-expression notation concerns the fact ‘that most real applications ‘deal with the ASCII character set.

The existence of only two symbols allowed us to wri uccinet expressions like 0+. for “any character.” cymbals atpere were 128 characters sa he same expression SOU 1 iv listing ther all, and ‘would be highly inconvenient to w ite.
