How do you match a caret (^) symbol in regex?
Solution 1:
Escape it with a backslash:
/\^/
This will make it be interpreted as a literal ^ character.
Solution 2:
I think this works (I've tested this in java):
\\^
'\' is used as an escape character, so you first escape '^', then you escape '\' itself
