Examples

# Slash separated date (YYYY-MM-DD):
addPattern("[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]/[0-1][0-9]/[0-3][0-9]", 179)

# Date in Year-quarter format:
addPattern("[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9] Q[0-4]", 179)

# Date in "Month Year" format (Not perfect; it will wrongly colorize strings
# such as"Not 2019"):
addPattern("[A-S][a-u][b-z] [1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]", 179)

# If all columns in a data.frame start with the letter 'q' followed by a
# number end, in some cases, by other letters, colorize them:
addPattern("q[0-9]*", 123)
addPattern("q[0-9]*[a-z]*", 123)
