Character classes?are a new feature introduced in the?POSIX?standard. A character class is a special notation for describing lists of characters that have a specific attribute,but where the actual characters themselves can vary from country to country and/or from character set to character set. For example,the notion of what is an alphabetic character differs in the USA and in France.
A character class is only valid in a regular expression?inside?the brackets of a character list. Character classes consist of?[:,a keyword denoting the class,and?:]. The character classes defined by the?POSIX?standard are:
