I understand .*
(greedy quantifier) backtracks and tries to find a match. and .*+
(possessive quantifier) does not backtrack.
However I have been using .*
and .\*?
frequently but don't know when to use .*+
.
Can somebody give a situation or an example where .*+
should be used?
explanation with an example is appreciated.
EDIT:
i have gone through the theory part and i repeat i understand how it works. i just need one example that matches possessive quantifiers (.*+
)
