"…" or '...'

Literals are expressed as strings enclosed in single or double-quotes.

In case the constant contains a single quote or double quote you may either use the other for enclosing (i.e: use double quotes for enclosing if the string contains a single quote or vice versa).

Alternatively, you can escape it with a preceding backslash character \ (0x5c ASCII).

Constants are usually less interest for analytical purposes, hence in most cases, they are just matched - i.e values not exported for the query.

Example

Matching one or more characters 'a'.

a
aa

Pattern:

"a"+ EOL
