I was learning regular expression in iOS, saw this tutorial:http://www.raywenderlich.com/30288/nsregularexpression-tutorial-and-cheat-sheet
It reads like this for \b:
\b matches word boundary characters such as spaces and punctuation. to\b will match the "to" in "to the moon" and "to!", but it will not match "tomorrow". \b is handy for "whole word" type matching.
and \s:
\s matches whitespace characters such as spaces, tabs, and newlines. hello\s will match "hello " in "Well, hello there!".
I have two questions on this:
1) what is the difference between \s and \b? when to use which?
2) \b is handy for "whole word" type matching -> Don't understand the meaning..
Need some guidance on these two.
