A condition of the position, does not match any character.

Some special defined punctuations do not match any character, but they are condition of the position:

Condition	Description

$	Current position must be the end of text
\b	Current position must be a word boundary

If the match mode is MULTILINE, ^ can match line begin, $ can match line end. Refer to Match Mode for more details.

If \b is contained into character set [], \b stands for backspace character (ASCII = 8).
