   1.processfor"greedy"
   Bydefault,thequantifiersare"greedy",thatis,they
   matchasmuchaspossible(uptothemaximumnumberofper-
   mittedtimes),withoutcausingtherestofthepatternto
   fail.Theclassicexampleofwherethisgivesproblemsisin
   tryingtomatchcommentsinCprograms.Theseappearbetween
   thesequences/*and*/andwithinthesequence,individual
   *and/charactersmayappear.AnattempttomatchCcom-

   /\*.*\*/
  
   tothestring
  
   /*firstcommand*/notcomment/*secondcomment*/
  
   fails,becauseitmatchestheentirestringduetothe
   greedinessofthe.*item.
  
   However,ifaquantifierisfollowedbyaquestionmark,

   /\*.*?\*/
  小结:
   ?与/U有类似功能,但同时出现彼此抵消
  
   如下:
      $a="asdf/*asdfaldsfasdf*/asfdasldf;kfldsj*/asfddsaf";
   $pattern="/\/\*.*?\*\//";
   //$pattern="/\/\*.*\*\//U";
   //$pattern="/\/\*.*?\*\//U";
   preg_match($pattern,$a,$match);
   print_r($match);
   ?>

   \w+(?=;)

   thesemicoloninthematch,and
  
   foo(?!bar)
  
   matchesanyoclearcase/" target="_blank" >ccurrenceof"foo"thatisnotfollowedby
   "bar".Notethattheapparentlysimilarpattern
  
   小结:
   (?!)只前向判断匹配,如bar(?!foo),而(?!foo)bar没有意义
