If it is not included, it defaults to a slash (/).</p> <p>This parameter allows (through its <a href="http://wikipedia.org/wiki/regex">regex pattern</a>) a string of characters consisting of either a forward slash (/) by itself or a string that must begin and end with forward slashes. In addition, it can contain any ASCII character from the ! (<code>\u0021</code>) through the DEL character (<code>\u007F</code>), including most punctuation characters, digits, and upper and lowercased letters.</p>
