Guys could you please help on creating a Regex for below Scenario.
I'm trying to create regex to match file name active users in wildcard.
Tried the basic one but doesn't work (?i)^active users$
example:
Regex should match the word(active users) with case insensitive
AcTiVE Users
active users
ACTIVE USERS
Regex should also match the word(active users) even though character present in prefix and suffix
Active users_test
Test_ACTIVE USERS
You can exclude matching word characters without the underscore at the left and at the right instead of using the anchors.
(?i)(?<![^\W_])active users(?![^\W_])

New to regex and not a coder. I am using a group filter in the OKTA SSO application that uses regex for filtering. The below filter works for groups without the full canonical path but it doesn't find groups that are in the format of canonical name. I want to search only for the group name after the path.
Example: "(?i)^aws_\S+_(?{{role}}[\w-]+)_(?{{accountid}}\d+)$"
will find this: "AWS_Alias_AdministratorAccess_000000"
but it will not find this: "llc.domainname.loc/IT/Security
Groups/AWS_Alias_AdministratorAccess_12345678"
OKTA Documentation:
https://saml-doc.okta.com/SAML_Docs/How-to-Configure-SAML-2.0-for-Amazon-Web-Service.html#setup-step3
If you mean there must be any one or more chars followed with a / char followed with your pattern you can use
(?i)^.+/aws_\S+_(?{{role}}[\w-]+)_(?{{accountid}}\d+)$
Here,
.+ - one or more chars
/ - a / char.
As the title presents above I am trying to reference a capture groups for a regex replace in a postgres query. I have read that the regex_replace does not support using regex capture groups. The regex I am using is
r"(?:[\s\(\)\=\)\,])(username)(?:[\s\(\)\=\)\,])?"gm
The above regex almost does what I need it to but I need to find out how to only allow a match if the capture groups also capture something. There is no situation where a "username" should be matched if it just so happens to be a substring of a word. By ensuring its surrounded by one of the above I can much more confidently ensure its a username.
An example application of the regex would be something like this in postgres (of course I would be doing an update vs a select):
select *, REGEXP_REPLACE(reqcontent,'(?:[\s\(\)\=\)\,])(username)(?:[\s\(\)\=\)\,])?' ,'NEW-VALUE', 'gm') from table where column like '%username%' limit 100;
If there is any more context that can be provided please let me know. I have also found similar posts (postgresql regexp_replace: how to replace captured group with evaluated expression (adding an integer value to capture group)) but that talks more about splicing in values back in and I don't think quite answers my question.
More context and example value(s) for regex work against. The below text may look familiar these are JQL filters in Jira. We are looking to update our usernames and all their occurrences in the table that contains the filter. Below is a few examples of filters. We originally were just doing a find a replace but that doesn't work because we have some usernames that are only two characters and it was matching on non usernames (e.g je (username) would place a new value in where the word project is found which completely malforms the JQL/String resulting in something like proNEW-VALUEct = balh blah)
type = bug AND status not in (Closed, Executed) AND assignee in (test, username)
assignee=username
assignee = username
Definition of Answered:
Regex that will only match on a 'username' if its surrounded by one of the specials
A way to regex/replace that username in a postgres query.
Capturing groups are used to keep the important bits of information matched with a regex.
Use either capturing groups around the string parts you want to stay in the result and use their placeholders in the replacement:
REGEXP_REPLACE(reqcontent,'([\s\(\)\=\)\,])username([\s\(\)\=\)\,])?' ,'\1NEW-VALUE\2', 'gm')
Or use lookarounds:
REGEXP_REPLACE(reqcontent,'(?<=[\s\(\)\=\)\,])(username)(?=[\s\(\)\=\)\,])?' ,'NEW-VALUE', 'gm')
Or, in this case, use word boundaries to ensure you only replace a word when inside special characters:
REGEXP_REPLACE(reqcontent,'\yusername\y' ,'NEW-VALUE', 'g')
So I am using this as a string:
Username entry \([a-z]{3,15}
To search this as an example:
[PA]apf_ms.c:7678 Username entry (host/computer.domain.com) is deleted for mobile a4:c4:94:63:1c:7a
[PA]apf_ms.c:7678 Username entry (username#domain.com) is deleted for mobile 94:e9:6a:ad:14:4d
Trying to wrap my head around regex and it's driving me nuts. My search only gets me so far, I am trying to make host/ optional and can't figure out where to insert it.
Username entry \((?:host/)?[a-z]{3,15}
(?: ... ) is a non-capture group
host/ is what you want to match
? after it means optional
You can use ? make anything optional in regex. The regex can be written as
Username entry \((?:host\/)?[a-z]{3,15}
(?:host\/)? Matches one or zero host/. The ?: within the brackets prevent it from capturing, as we don't want to save the host/ for future use.

I am trying to create a list of groups based on the client names
/access-guide/[this bit]/...
So I can have a performance list of all our clients.
This is my regex:
/access-guide/(.*universit(y|ies)|.*colleg(e|es))/
I want it to group anything that has university/ies or college/es in it, at any point within that client name section of the URL.
At the moment, my current regex will only return groups that are X-University:
Durham-University
Plymouth-University
Cardiff-University
etc.
What does the regex need to be to have the list I'm looking for?
Do I need to have something at the end to stop it matching things after the client name? E.g. ([^/]+$)?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Depending upon your needs you may want to do:
/access-guide/([^/]*(?:university|universities|college|colleges)[^/]*)/
This will match names even if "university" or "college" is not at the end of the string. For example "college-of-the-ozarks" Note the non-capturing internal parenthesis, that should probably be used no matter what solution you go with, as you don't want to just match the word "university" or "college"
Live Example
Additionally, I don't know what may be in your but if you may have compound words you want to eliminate using a \b may be advisable. For instance if you don't want to match "miskatonic-postcollege" you may want to do something like this:
/access-guide/([^/]*\b(?:university|universities|college|colleges)\b[^/]*)/
If the client name section of the URL is after the access-guid/ and before the next /:
http://www.disabledgo.com/access-guide/the-university-of-manchester/176-waterloo-place-2
|----------------------------|
you need to use a negated character class to only match university before the regex reaches that rightmost / boundary.
As per the Reference:
You can extract pages by Page URL, Page Title, or Screen Name. Identify each one with a regex capture group (Analytics uses the first capture group for each expression)
Thus, you can use
/access-guide/([^/]*(universit(y|ies)|colleges?))
^^^^^
See demo.
The regex matches
/access-guide/ - leftmost boundary, matches /access-guide/ literally
[^/]* - any character other than / (so we still remain in that customer section)
(universit(y|ies)|colleges?) - university, or universities, orcollegeorcolleges` literally. Add more if needed.
I have this log line:
blabla#gmail.com, Portal, qtp724408050-38, com.blabla.search.lib.SearchServiceImpl .logRequest, [Input request is lookupRequestDTO]
I need to find a regex that grabs that email, then matches lookupRequestDTO ignoring everything in between.
Currently my regex grabs the whole line:
([\w-\.]+)#gmail.com,(.+)lookupRequestDTO
How do I not match anything in between the email and lookupRequestDTO ?
What about this?
([^,]+).*?lookupRequestDTO
[^,]+ matches everything up until the first comma so it should get you the email
It assumes lookupRequestDTO is a criteria for your search. If it is a variable you want to retrieve, you could use this :
([^,]+).*?\[Input request is ([^\]]+)
Assuming you're using PCRE (php, perl, etc., and this should work in javascript):
([\w-\.]+?#gmail\.com),(?:.+)(lookupRequestDTO)
Out of capture groups 1 and 2, you'll get:
MATCH 1
blabla#gmail.com
lookupRequestDTO
