I am building a regular expression to find a set of question marks and exclamation points. For example ??? or !!!.
These are special characters so they mean something to a regular expression. How do I find them in the text? If I want to find a word such as "Bill" I can matchText with (\bBill\b) but I can't do (\b!!!\b) and if I do (\b???\b) I get an error. I've looked on the web for escaping characters and they suggest using a slash before. However, when I try (\b\!\!\!\b) it doesn't work. I've also found references to \Q…\E to have everything between a literal but (\b\Q!!!\E\b) doesn't work either. Any ideas?
