Regex: Remove lines containing "help", etc
(7 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I need to obtain something like the following:
may 09 00:11:53 USER audit[1225]: Found device /dasd/cxvxc/...
may 09 00:11:53 USER audit[1226]: more text here
may 09 00:11:53 USER audit[1225]: Found device /mnt/cxvxc/...
may 09 00:11:53 USER audit[1225]: FOUND DEVICE /mnt/cxvxc/...
And remove all the rows where it finds the occurrence of found device (case insensitive).
I tried with \Found\ device, but it is not case insensitive and how do I remove the entire line after finding?
This is maybe not the most advanced version, but should do the trick:
Go to Search -> Replace and activate Regular Expressions. Something like this would match your search
^.*(Found device|FOUND DEVICE).*$
Replace it with an empty string.
This might leaves empty lines, which you can clean with another round of search and replace by deactivating Regular expressions again and using \n for the search-string.
However, I would recommend you to check more specialized tools like sed or awk --- This answer Delete lines in a text file that contain a specific string looks helpful -- and via Geany's "Send selection to"-feature it can be even integrated into Geany quiet easy.

How to use regex to get file extension?
(3 answers)
Closed 6 months ago.
We have a custom field defined in data studio which extracts and returns the file extension from a string in this case it is from the event label.
I have been using the below with some success
REGEXP_EXTRACT(Event Label, '\\.([\\w\\.-]+)$')
However I'm finding if the string contains multiple periods its including that aswell
Eg it's also extracting text like
07.21.pdf
7.22.PDF
07.21.docx
docx.pdf
How can I tweak my regex to only include from the last period and ignore any earlier.
You could try replacing [\\w\\.-] with [^\\.]
\\.([^\\.]+)$
[^\\.] will match everything except for ., so the match will not be able to contain dots inside.
The full formula would look like this:
REGEXP_EXTRACT(Event Label, '\\.([^\\.]+)$')
We have an old, grown project with thousands of php files and need to clean it up.
Throughout the whole project we do have a lot of function calls similar to:
trans('somestring1');
trans("SomeString2");
trans('more_string',$somevar);
trans("anotherstring4",$somevar);
trans($tx_key);
trans($anotherKey,$somevar);
All of those are embedded into the code and represent translation keys. I would like to find a way to extract all "translation keys" in all occurrences.
The PHP project is in VS Code, so a RegEx Search would be helpful to list the results.
Or I could search through the project with any other tool you would recommend
However I would also need to "export" just the strings to a textfile or similar.
The ideal result would be:
somestring1
SomeString2
more_string
anotherstring4
$tx_key
$anotherKey
As a bonus - if someone knows, how I could get the above list including filename where the result has been found - that would be really fantastic!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Update:
The RegEx I came up with:
/(trans)+\([^\)]*\)(\.[^\)]*\))?/gim
list the full occurrence - How can I just get the first part of the result (between Single Quotes OR between Double Quotes OR beginning with $)
See here: regexr.com/548d4
Here are some steps to get exactly what you want. Using this you can do a find and replace on your search results!
So you could do sequential regex find/replaces in the right circumstances.
The replace can be just within the search results editor and not affect the underlying files at all - which is what you want.
You can also have the replace action actually edit the underlying files if you wish.
[Hint: This technique can also make doing a find item a / replace with b in files that contain term c much easier to do.]
(1) Open a new search editor: Ctrl+Shift+P
(That command is currently unbound to a keybinding.)
(2) Paste this regex into the Search input box (with the regex option .* selected):
`(.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]+)(.*)` - a relatively simple regex
regex101 demo
See my other answer for a regex to work with up to 6 entries per line:
(\s*\d+:\s)?((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*)((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*))?((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*))?((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*))?((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*))?((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*))?)(.*)
(3) You will get a list of files with the search results. Now open a Find widget Shift+F in this Search editor.
(4) Put the same regex into that Find input. Regex option selected. Put $3 into the Replace field. This only replaces in this Search editor - not the original files (although that can be done if you want it in some case). Replace All.
If using the 1-6 version regex, replace with:
$1$5 $9 $13 $17 $21 $25
(5) Voila. You can now save this Search Editor as a file.
The first answer works for one desired capture per line as in the original question. But that relatively simple regex won't work if there are two or more per line.
The regex below works for up to 6 entries per line, like
trans('somestring1');
stuff trans("SomeString2"); some content trans("SomeString2a");more stuff [repeat, repeat]
But it doesn't for 7+ - you'll need a regex guru for that.
Here is the process again with a twist of using a snippet in the Search Editor instead of a Find/Replace. Using a snippet allows more control over the formatting of the final result.
(1) Open a new search editor: Ctrl+Shift+P (That command is currently unbound to a keybinding.)
(2) Paste this regex into the Search input box (with the regex option .* selected):
`((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*)((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*))?((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*))?((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*))?((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*))?((.*?)(\btrans\(['"]?)([^,'")]*))?)(.*)`
regex101 demo
(3) You will get a list of files with the search results. Now select all your results individually with Ctrl+Shift+L.
(4) Trigger this keybinding:
{
"key": "alt+i", // whatever keybinding you like
"command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
"when": "editorTextFocus",
"args": {
"snippet": "${TM_SELECTED_TEXT/((.*?)(\\btrans\\([\\'\\\"]?)([^,\\'\\\")]*)((.*?)(\\btrans\\([\\'\\\"]?)([^,\\'\\\")]*))?((.*?)(\\btrans\\([\\'\\\"]?)([^,\\'\\\")]*))?((.*?)(\\btrans\\([\\'\\\"]?)([^,\\'\\\")]*))?((.*?)(\\btrans\\([\\'\\\"]?)([^,\\'\\\")]*))?((.*?)(\\btrans\\([\\'\\\"]?)([^,\\'\\\")]*))?)(.*)/$4${8:+\n }$8${12:+\n }$12${16:+\n }$16${20:+\n }$20${24:+\n }$24/g}"
}
},
That snippet will be applied to each selection in your search result. This part ${8:+\n } is a conditional which adds a newline and some spaces if there is a capture group 8 - which would be a second trans(...) on a line.
Demo: (unfortunately, it doesn't properly show the Ctrl+Shift+L selecting all lines individually or the Alt+i snippet trigger)

How to edit all lines in Visual Studio Code
(9 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
So essentially someone on our dev team made a bit of a big issue where they had changed all of the build actions on .csproj files and we are thinking of the easiest way to change them back.
We want to use regex to open all the csproj files via VSCode. The format to open multiple files in file explorer is
"filename" "filename1" "filename2"
my list is
com.Console.job1.csproj
com.Console.job2.csproj
com.Console.job3.csproj
com.Console.job4.csproj
my current regex
(.+)\n
then my regex to replace is
"$1"\s
which doesnt work at all
You can use this regex :
To locate pattern
([^\s]+)(\n)?
To replace :
"$1"
keep in mind the replace pattern contains a space at its end

Every morning at work I have to do the following: Look for entries in a simple text file that contain a specified substring, then copy those entries in a .doc template which I then have to fax to a client. The problem is that notepad++, the program with which i open those files, has an otherwise very convenient feature for this (find all in current document), alas, it also adds the "line XYZ::" information at the start of every entry, which I then have to erase manually from the .doc template. Even though this has yet to happen, nothing prohibits those entries from reaching the hundreds, and then I will be stuck for hours and hours just hitting "backspace", "shift" and the arrow keys. Unacceptable.
Wordpad, on the other hand, does not have a massive "find" option akin to notepad++'s "find all in current document". Notepad doesn't have this either and MS Word thinks it is prudent to format search results in boxes, making it impossible for me to select them all, copy and paste them.
Is there any way to customize the output of "find all in current document" in order for the "line XYZ::" message to not appear? Mind you, I would look for a faster solution using a script, but I come from Linux, and only know how to accomplish basic bash/awk tasks.
Thank you for your time and interest.
Before pasting the search results into the word doc, you could do a "Find and Replace" using regex matching with this pattern;
\s+Line \d+:\s+
Just replace matches with an empty string - that will remove the line number prefixes from every line.
What you could do is to copy / paste the search results into a new Notepad++ document. Then you do a search and replace with regular expressions. You search for something like:
\s*Line \d+:\s
and replace with nothing. Don't forget to check the regular expression option.
There is a manual approach which i used to do before learning about regex, and that is in notepad++ you can do column select by leaving your cursor at the beginning of the document, scroll to the end of the document, hold Alt+Shift while you click on the column position you'd like to eliminate.
You'll be able to select all the line number prefixes this way, after which you just press delete.
I am a Vim-user lost in the Emacs-style Regex of Info-reader. I want to match:
$ info find
?How-in-Info-reader? :%s#\(\\;.*\\+\)\|\(\\+.*\\;\)#WORKS!#g
INFO: "C-X n" to go through the matches
I am looking for the Emacs-counterpart for the Vim-command marked with "?How-in-Info-reader?".
How can you find the matches in Info-reader?
For the standalone info reader, your choices are more limited than when using Emacs proper for browsing *info* pages.
I'm not familiar with the details of ?How-in-Info-reader, but there are two ways (I can see to search in the standalone info browser.
M-x index-apropos SOMESTRING
will give you a list of all the index nodes which contain SOMESTRING.
And the other searches C-s (for interactive search) and / or s (non-interactive search) for a particular string in the current view (they don't drop down into the nodes).
I think you're trying to replace either backslash-semi-anystring-backslashes or backslashes-anystring-backslash-semi with "WORKS!" everywhere in the file. It doesn't look like info is an editor. it doesn't even look like it has regex searching. In emacs, I'd type esc-control-s (to get incremental regular expression search, which means you can try out expressions and see how they work).
Once you're in emacs, the search string you presented should work just fine if I've understood your question. You can also type Esc-r, and then type the first string ("\(\\;.*\\+\)\|\(\\+.*\\;\)"), a RETURN, and the replacement string ("#WORKS!").
