regexps
 
hi

thanks in advance
... count all the occurrences of 'Eric' and 'Eirik' in a string. Two valid regexps to match these are \b(Eric|Eirik)\b ...

I understand word boundary b and | BUT not &#92 and why in front and end

appreciate help

\ is the HTML entity for a \. Looks like it was text badly converted to/from HTML.
