This article is currently a stub; it means I'm aware it's short and I probably intend to expand on the subject in the future!

I can never remember which programs use which regex variants, so here's a quick recap sheet.

grep (GNU) sed (GNU) vim python
capture \( ... \) \( ... \) \( ... \) ( ... )
option \| \| \| |
word boundary \< or \> \< or \> \< or \> \b
zero or more * * * *
one or more \+ \+ \+ +
