Let’s try out a more significant example of the power of REs. Suppose we want to build an application to help a user buy a computer on the Web. The user might want “any machine with at least 6 GHz and 500 GB of disk space for less than $1000”. To do this kind of retrieval, we first need to be able to look for expressions like 6GHz or 500 GB or Mac or $999.99. In the rest of this section we’ll work out some simple regular expressions for this task.
