The Foxitpro PDF reader allows text to be marked and copied.
Unfortunately, it's only available for Windows. I don't know if
there's a Linux PDF reader that has that capability.

Basically, it's a format for defining search patterns that
supports special meanings for certain characters. For
instance:
a - finds any string like "a"
a. - finds any string like "a" plus any other character except
a new line (matches "aa", "ab", "ac", etc)
a.* - finds any string like "a" plus zero or more characters
except a new line (matches "aa", "abcdefghijk")
Other special characters can further modify this behavior.
So here's an explanation of the earlier command.
's/\.JPG$/.jpg/' *.JPG
Basic search and replace format s/[string we search
for]/[string to replace matches with]/
"\.JPG$" - Because "." is special, we escape it with "\" to
keep the regex from interpreting it, so the "." will be
treated literally. "JPG" is what we're looking for. Placing a
"$" at the end of the string tells the regex to match the
string only at the end of the strings you're searching. This
means that you will match "example.JPG" but not "JPG.example".
".jpg" - This is our replacement string. This is what goes in
the place of every match we find.
"*.JPG" - while this isn't part of the regex, "*" is a
wildcard (can be substituted for any number of characters).
