You need to read up on "regular expressions" (or "regex").
In a regular expression, a lowercase "d" is a single decimal digit. A "+" means one or more of them. A period means ANY character (which is why you have to escape it when you mean "period"). A backward slash means to treat the character immediately after it normally and not as a special character. So "\d" would mean the literal letter "d". There's more rules, but they're well documented all over the internet, so I won't elaborate.
