%e

{

Begin a token string. The characters between { and } in the Input Pattern (including regular and special characters) represent a "token string". The characters in the data stream that match this token string are a token, and can be referenced by the Output Data String, and written directly to the output database as a group

}

End of a token string

\

Treat the following character as a literal. For example, if a literal `*' character was expected in the input data stream, you would use \* to denote this. If a literal backslash \ is expected, use \\.
