-"(…)" defines a capture group. "." matches any character. "*" matches 0-infinite of the prior character; ".*" matches 0-infinite of any character. "?" makes the search "ungreedy", forcing it to stop at the first match instead of a later/last match. "\#" references a capture group in the search field, counting up from left to right. "$#" references a capture group in the replace field, counting up from left to right.
+"\…" is used to escape characters, preventing the regex from interpreting them as part of the regex command. "(…)" defines a capture group. "." matches any character. "*" matches 0-infinite of the prior character; ".*" matches 0-infinite of any character. "[…]" defines a set of characters. "^" is a NOT operator; "[^…]" equates to not these characters. "\1,2,3,..." references a capture group in the search field, counting up from left to right. "$1,2,3,..." references a capture group in the replace field, counting up from left to right.
