<b>/(Apple)|(pineapple)/</b><br>
<br>
() = grouping<br>
| = OR ; the token "|" only matches one single character. By
grouping the letters of the word, you treat that word as one
character.<br>
<br>
This regexp will match:<br>
- foo Apple bar<br>
- foo pineapple bar<br>
- foo Apple bar pineapple bar<br>
- foo pineapple bar Apple<br>
<br>
Take special care: regexps are matched "first come, first served":<br>
The string "foo pineapple bar Apple" is not matched because of <b>/(<u>Apple</u>)|(pineapple)/
</b>but because of <b>/(Apple)|(<u>pineapple</u>)/ !</b><br>
