Write regex for path changes in VSCode - regex

At work, I often have to change the paths of files. For example, there is:
qwerty123/aasdad/index.js
qwerty321/ewqewe/script.js
I need to replace it with
js/index.js
There are also pictures and css files. They are always in the img and css folders. So I couldn't get it right. My mind was not enough =( Changing paths for this small task takes about 10 minutes, it's a pity to spend them on this.
Tried this:
src="(.*)" ".*/(.+)\.jpg"
but it also cuts out the file name, but I need it.

Find: [^\s]*\b(\/.*\.js\b)
Replace: js$1
If your paths have spaces in them the find regex won't work as the demo shows!

Regex Assistance for replacing filepaths in markdown documents

I migrated my notes from evernote to markdown files with yarle. unfortunately it created me a lot of folders seperatively for the attachments (although I set it up for one folder only).
I moved all attachements to one folder, so the filepath to the attachments in the mardown files needs to be updated.
I think regex would be right for this, but I don't have any knowledge about regex and would be really thankful for help.
Filepaths are as follows:![[./_attachmentsMove/Coordination_Patterns.resources/CoordinationPattern_Ipsi.MOV]]
All filepaths are identical ![[./_attachmentsMove/]] up to this
The second folder varies e.g. Coordination_Patterns.resources/.
I want to delete everything but the filename.extension itself e.g. ![[CoordinationPattern_Ipsi.MOV]].
An example of the other filepaths:
![[./_attachmentsMove/Jonglieren_(Hände).resources/07 Jonglieren.MOV]]
(second folder changes, filename changes, I also have .png and .mov).
I use MassReplaceIt (app for mac) which allows me to replace expressions in documents with regex. If someone has a solution using the terminal/commandline, I'll try this as well of course :)
Try if this regexp suffices:
(?<=!\[\[)[^\]]+/(?=[^\]/]+]])
Replace with empty string.
It should delete the part from the ![[ up to the last / before the next ]].

BrunchJS joinTo parent directory (brunch-config.coffee)

I would like to get assets from a parent directory in a joinTo like this :
exports.config =
paths:
public: './../public'
compass: './config.rb'
watched: ['app']
files:
javascripts:
joinTo:
'/js/master.js':/^(../../../directory/target|app[\/\\]public)/
My problem come from this ../../../directory/target to up one or more directory.
But it seem impossible, because BrunchJS use Regex to find directory.
There is a way to do what i wish?
Thanks
Not sure I completely understand your question or description of what's going wrong. Or even quite what you're trying to match with that regex - is app a sibling of target, or local to cwd?
But you don't need to use a single regex. You may find it much easier to use a glob pattern or an array of globs/regexes/paths such as
files:
javascripts:
joinTo:
'js/master.js': [
'../../../directory/target/**/*',
'app/public/**/*'
]
Take a look at the Brunch joinTo documentation and anymatch documentation.
You also need to watch out for that leading slash in your target file, which may get interpreted as an absolute path.

give sudo permission to log files on different paths like /a/b1/c.log and /a/b2/d.log etc. files

I need a nice column for Centrify tool which include all the log files under the different folders, for example;
/oradata1/oracle/admin/A/scripts/rman_logs/*.log
/oracle/oracle/admin/B/scripts/rman_logs/*.log
/oradata2/admin/C/scripts/logs/*.log
I used this but after the * character user can see all logs;
/ora(data(1|2)|cle)/oracle|admin/admin/*/scripts/rman_logs
/ora(data(1|2)|cle)/oracle|admin/admin/*/scripts/rman_logs
Which expression I must use.
If I understandy our question correctly, you want only .log files. You can use a positive lookahead to assert that it is indeed a log file (contains .log at the end of filename), and match the filename whatever it is (.*).
Then it's really easy. (?=.*\.log(?:$|\s)).* Of course, you can also add specific folders if you wish to restrict the matches, but the positive lookahead will still do its work. I.e. (?=.*\.log(?:$|\s)).*/scripts/.*
EDIT: As your comment, you only need those folders, so you just specify their filepaths in alternations and add [^.\s\/]*\.log at the end. So:
(?:\/oradata1\/oracle\/admin\/A\/scripts\/rman_logs\/|\/oracle\/oracle\/admin\/B\/scripts\/rman_logs\/|\/oradata2\/admin\/C\/scripts\/logs\/)[^\s.\/]*\.log You may shorten the regex by trying to combine filepath elements, but, imo, not necessary as you might as well specify each filepath individually, if they don't overlap too much.
I have found a global expression.
this is not a good way but it works and save me from lots of job. The main files are under the ....../scripts/rman_logs/ for all servers so I use this way.
I can produce these lines and can be a command group for users so this works good
tail /////scripts/rman_logs/*.log
tail ////scripts/rman_logs/.log
Thanks for your helps.

How to search files in windows file explorer with specified extension name?

We can search files in windows 7 or higher version using the following tool:
(I don't have image uploading privilage. I mean the top-right area in windows file explorer.)
When I search for MATLAB files using "*.m", it not only returns *.m files, but also returns *.mp3, *.mp4 files. Is there any way to show *.m files exclusively?
Thanks!
I assume you used the quotation marks here to show the text you typed, because ironically the exact way how it should work is to put the search in quotation marks...
so
*.m
finds .mp3 as well as .m but
"*.m"
should only find the .m files. Alternatively you could also write
ext:".m"
which would guarantee that only extensions are searched. (Although I am not sure if this is ever necessary here, because while windows can have a dot in the filename and also can have files without extensions I am not sure if it is possible to have both at the same time.)
using the following
"*.m"
will solve your problem.You can find more information on regex to be used in msdn in the following link .Advanced query syntax
Above that, you can also take advantage of the wildcard character *.
For example, if you want to search for a file with a name ending with 024 or starting with 024 then you can put in the search box like *024.* or 024*.* respectively.
Here the * after . represents files with any extensions, if you want particular then mention extension line 024.png.
Explorer don't have a function of finding with RegEx.
You need to use Power-Shell instead of Win Explorer;
for example: where '(?i)Out' is a regex
Get-ChildItem -Path e:\temp -Recurse -File | Where-Object { $_.Name -match '(?i)Out' }
alternatively you can just simply search for your extension like this:
.extension
eg:
typing .exe will give you all the files with .exe extensions in a folder.
PS: Typing .xml OR .vmcx will give you both type of files. It is useful if you seek to make an archive of different kinds of files stored in different folders or locations.
You can get close to proper regex support from the mostly awesome Cygwin, and as a bonus you get most every linux tool running natively on linux. But it still doesnn't know that .* means "zero or more of anything", ^ means the start of a line (and $ the end), so some things are still weird.
And a startlingly large bunch of weird corner cases that only deranged perl programmers notice fail the test.
So many other things it gets wrong, but it's more workable than anything in any windows OS, plus you get perl, grep, diff, wget, curl, etc. -- the whole GNU lib for free.
If you want a full on bash shell with proper respect for regex, install the super neet-o Bash for Windows 10
Either will do what you want. And they're a billion times faster than that stupid search bar that takes off at 100 mph then crawls to 1 pixel per 10 minutes near the end.

Very basic image renaming with regex

I spent most of yesterday putting together a collection of regular expressions to convert all my image names and paths to lower case. Today, I processed a folder full of files and was surprised to discover that many image names are still capitalized.
So I decided to try it one step at a time, first renaming .jpg's, then .gif's, .png's, etc.
I'm working on a Mac, using Dreamweaver and TextWrangler as my text editors. The following regex works perfectly for jpg's, with one major flaw - it deletes the extension...
([\w/-]+)\.jpe?g
\L\1
In other words, it changes South-America.jpg to south-america.
How can I change it so that it retains the file extension? I assume I can then just change it to...
([\w/-]+)\.png
\L\1
...to process png's, etc.
([\w\/-]+)(\.jpe?g)
and replace with \L\1\2
its deleting your extension because you are never saving it in a matchgroup.
You could perhaps capture the extension too?
([\w/-]+)(\.jpe?g)
\L\1\2
And I think you should be able to use something like this for all the files:
([\w/-]+)(\.[^.]+$)
\L\1\2
Or if you specifically want to convert those jpegs, pngs and gifs:
([\w/-]+)(\.(?:jpe?g|gif|png))
\L\1\2
If it's okay for the extension to become lowercase as well, you could just do
^(.*)$
\L\1
As long as you're certain that all lines contain file names.
If you want to process only certain file formats, use
^(.*\.(jpe?g|png|gif))$
\L\1
