Cloud Email Gateway Protection provides the following shorthand for writing complicated regular expressions. Cloud Email Gateway Protection will pre-process expressions and translate the shorthand into regular expressions.
For example, {D}+ would be translated to [0-9]+. If a shorthand expression is enclosed in brackets (example: {}) or double-quotes, then Cloud Email Gateway Protection will not translate that shorthand expression to a regular expression.
