I'm a beginner in regex and trying to create regular expression (doing tests using c++/boost::regex_token_iterator) to find particular pattern:
(* some *)(* interesting *) (*test *) (* regular*)(* expressions *) (* and *)
I want to find words, which much exactly to (* xxxx *) pattern, for single case i'm using below expression:
\(\* .+ \*\)
but cannot figure out how to apply it to string similar to above example. I want to get as result:
(* some *)
(* interesting *)
(* expressions *)
Following fragments should not be taken:
(*test *)
(* regular*)
(* and *)
Any help is highly welcomed.

The simplest one:
\(\*\s\w+\s\*\)

You can use
\(\* [^\s()](?:[^()]*[^\s()])? \*\)
See the regex demo
Details
\(\* - a (* string
[^\s()] - any char other than whitespace, ( and )
(?:[^()]*[^\s()])? - an optional occurrence of any zero or more chars other than ( and ) and then any char other than whitespace, ( and )
\*\) - a *) string

I using Regex to extract a pattern which is of the form [a-zA-z][0-9]{8} Ex:K12345678
I need to extract this pattern from a string and this pattern should be matched properly
I tried the below but my testcase if failing for this scenario
This is my Regex /[a-zA-Z][0-9]{8}/g
phonne number:9978434276K12345678:My pattern
For this scenario it is failing.
My Sample Code
const expression = /[a-zA-Z][0-9]{8}/;
const content = "phone number:9978434276K12345678:My pattern"
let patternMatch = content.match(expression);
The expected output is K12345678.The Regex which I wrote does not handle this.
You can use String.match(Regex)
"9978434276K12345678".match(/[a-zA-Z][0-9]{8}/)
It returns an array of 4 elements: [String coincidence, index: Number, input: String, groups: undefined]
just stay with the element 0: coincidence and 1: index of the match.
and use this just to check that the string matches at least one
/Regex/.test(String)
/[a-zA-Z][0-9]{8}/.test("9978434276K12345678")
It will return true or false
USE expression without quotation marks
const expression = /[a-zA-Z][0-9]{8}/;
const content = "phone number:9978434276K12345678:My pattern"
let patternMatch = content.match(expression);

I have a comma-separated string and wanted to check if the string has all words irrespective of order using REGEX pattern.
Example: Original String = "help, assist, aid";
Use Cases:
"help, assist, aid" -> return true
"aid, assist, help" -> return true
"aid, help,assist" -> return true
"aid, help" -> return false
"aid, help,support" -> return false
Can someone help me in writing the regex pattern for this use case?
You could use three positive lookahead assertions:
^(?=.*\bhelp\b)(?=.*\baid\b)(?=.*\bassist\b).*$
Each of the three lookaheads is actually zero width, and so would all be evaluated once at the very start of the pattern.

I have few lines
Eg:
word1-word2-word3-1
word1-word2-word3-23
word1-word2-word3-dr
word1-word2-word3-13-4
word1-word2-word3-drg
word1-word2-word3-word4-4
From the above lines i need the following lines by using Regex
word1-word2-word3-1
word1-word2-word3-23
word1-word2-word3-word4-4
ie. The string ending with a "-{int}"
You can use the pattern -\d+$
The pattern means that we are look for;
-\d+ - hyphen and one or more digits
$ Asserts that we are at the line end.
I don't know what language you are writing this in but assuming you are doing it in Javascript. This pattern can be proved using the code below.
"use strict";
var values = [
"word1-word2-word3-1",
"word1-word2-word3-23",
"word1-word2-word3-dr",
"word1-word2-word3-13-4",
"word1-word2-word3-drg",
"word1-word2-word3-word4-4"
];
values.forEach(value => {
if (/.*-(?!\d+-)\w+-\d+$/.exec(value)) {
console.log(value + " has - integer at the end!");
};
});

how can I split or use regex for the results of this msgbox to only get:
"maricruz.tinajero"
I thought about removing all new lines so it's only on one line and then using an index number to get the position of the string I want but im still trying to figure that out.
Try this:(str represents your string above)
Dim obj = str.Substring(str.LastIndexOf("\") + 1)
Forget about using Split or Regex for this:
Dim idx As Integer = msg.LastIndexOf("\"c)
Dim user As String = msg.SubString(idx + 1)

sample input text:
a) owner.table_name
b) table_name
can somebody suggest regular expression so that I get out put in such a way that i get text upto "." (if "." exists) and if "." doesnt exist then return empty
output:
a) owner
b) empty
regular expression so that I get out put in such a way that I get text from "." up to end (if "." exists) and if "." doesn't exist then return entire string
output:
a) table_name
b) table_name
The following regex should work:
(?:(\w+)\.)?(\w+)
It creates two capture groups (see this debuggex example to play around with it)
The first group will be empty, with the input table_name. For owner.table_name both groups have the appropriate values.
Here's a regex that would match both in one:
((?<owner>\w+)\.)?(?<table>\w+)
If the tool you are using allows named groups, the first group will be called "owner" and will be any word before a period. The second group will be called "table" and will be any word after a possible "owner".
