Square brackets are meant for character class, and you’re actually trying to match any one of: s, |, s (again), e, a, s (again), o and n.

“Word size” refers to the number of bits processed by a computer’s CPU in one go (these days, typically 32 bits or 64 bits). Data bus size, instruction size, address size are usually multiples of the word size. Just to confuse matters, for backwards compatibility, Microsoft Windows API defines a WORD as being 16 bits, … Read more
