MatchText

[Mike Bonner]

A period matches any single char, an asterisk will match any number of
consecutive chars of the previous char.  IE, p* will match pppppppp  Since .
will match anything (with a couple exceptions), .* will match any
combination of digits/chars whatever.  To match text chars only you use sets
like so [a-zA-Z]* which will match any upper or lower case char and as many
more upper or lower case chars that follows in a row.

This page is a really good place to get a grip on the easier regex
