What is anchoring?  What does the "^^" really do?  How does it
affect a matching expression?  If someone would be so kind as
to elaborate and even provide some examples with descriptions,

Ancoring is simply tying something to the begining/end of a line to
ensure that the match happened there and not at some random point in
the middle of a string.
