      <p>In any case, remember that regular expressions are substring
      matches. That is, you don't need the regex to describe the entire
      string, just the part that you wish to match. Thus, using a regex
      of <code>.</code> is often sufficient rather than <code>.*</code>,
      and the regex <code>abc</code> is <strong>not</code> the same as
      <code>^abc$</code>.</p>
