regex ain’t part of my daily routine. Figuring out a working expression can be a bit of a tedious process for me. These are one’s I found useful, and may want to use them again.

Useful regular expressions¶

Match a version number and everything appended ‘til EOL—eg v1*:

  \v\d\N+

Match any term from a list of terms:

\-(term1|term2|term3|)

Match entire line incl. a specific term:

\N+(\[term\])\N+
