I have logs which contains in full_message;
-EndPoint:example/example/abc
-EndPoint:example/example/qfdsf
-EndPoint:example/example
.. and so on
I am trying to write a search query to just get -EndPoint:example/example.
"-EndPoint:example/example" is not working
and I cant use "and" or "or" cause there hundreds of versions
Why and how can't/can I get only -EndPoint:example/example which doesn't have / at the end ?
You can use the following regex:
"-EndPoint:example/example$"
It search for the string, making sure, it's the end of the string.

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)
This I probably a dumb question but it beats me.
The same thing in Python works perfectly, although in AS3 doesn't.
var s:String = "123456";
trace(s.split(/../gm));
Expecting this as array: ['12','34','56']
But instead I get: [,,]
I have experimented various regexr patterns but none split into 2-char batches.
Any ideas / solutions ?
You're using the split command, which means the string will be divided into an array of values using the regular expression .. to match the delimiters. These delimiters are then not included in the output.
I think you want to do something like s.match(/../g). See also this link for more information about .match
I am trying to use regular expression in IBM RAD / eclipse to search and replace entire code base/Java Web Project(jsp, java) of specific matching crieria.
What I am trying to do is, I am searching for
method(string, string)
and to replace it with
method(string, string, string) // adding additional argument.
For Example:
method("Employee", "Language")
method("Customer", "Lang");
I want to replace all method(*,*,"TOKEN");
I have searched like method(*,*) and returns all, but while trying to replace method(*, *, TOKEN), it is replacing as "*"...any help..not that much familiar with regular expression..already searched many threads and still searching..any help would be greatful..thanks
if you select the methodname e.g:
public void getAngle(){..}
and you select ´getAngle()´ and press ´alt+shift+c´ , you should be able to modify the method signature
Given the following file path:
/Users/Lawrence/MyProject/some/very/interesting/Code.scala
I would like to generate the following using a single regex replace (the root can be a constant):
some.very.interesting
This is for the purpose of generating a snippet for Sublime Text which can automatically insert the correct package/namespace header for my scala/java classes :)
Sublime Text uses the following syntax for their regex replace patterns (aka 'substitutions'):
{input/regex/replace/flags}
Hence why an iterative approach cannot be taken - it has to be done in one pass! Also, substitutions cannot be nested :(
If you know the maximum number of nested folders.You can specify that in your regex.
For 1 to 3 nested folders
Regex:/Users/Lawrence/MyProject/(\w+)/?(\w+)?/?(\w+)?/[^/]+$
Replace:$1.$2.$3
For 1 to 5 nested folders
Regex:/Users/Lawrence/MyProject/(\w+)/?(\w+)?/?(\w+)?/?(\w+)?/?(\w+)?/[^/]+$
Replace:$1.$2.$3.$4.$5
Given the constraints this is only thing you can do
Input
/Users/Lawrence/MyProject/some/very/interesting/Code.scala
Regex
^/Users/Lawrence/MyProject/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/Code.scala
or
^/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/
Replace
\1.\2.\3
Update
This gets you closer, but not exactly it:
Regex
(^/Users/Lawrence/MyProject/|/Code\.scala$|/)
Replacement
.
Output would be:
.some.very.interesting.
Without multiple replacements in a single line and without recursive back references it's going to be hard.
You might have to do a second replacement, replacing something like this with an empty string (if you can):
(^\.|\.$)
I have no experience with regular expressions and would love some help and suggestions on a possible solution to deleting parts of file names contained in a csv file.
Problem:
A list of exported file names contains a random unique identifier that I need isolated. The unique identifier has no predictable pattern, however the aspects which need removing do. Each file name ends with one of the following variations:
V, -V, or %20V followed by a random number sequence with possible spaces, additional "-","" and ending with .PDF
examples:
GTD-LVOE-43-0021 V10 0.PDF
GTD-LVOE-43-0021-V34-2.PDF
GTD-LVOE-43-0021_V02_9.PDF
GTD-LVOE-43-0021 V49.9.PDF
Solution:
My plan was to write a script to select of the first occurrence of a V from the end of the string and then delete it and everything to the right of it. Then the file names can be cleaned up by deleting any "-" or "_" and white space that occurs at the end of a string.
Question:
How can I do this with a regular expression and is my line of thinking even close to the right approach to solving this?
REGEX: [\s\-_]V.*?\.PDF
Might do the trick. You'd still need to replace away any leading - and _, but it should get you down the path, hopefully.
This would read as follows..
start with a whitespace, - OR _ followed by a V. Then take everything until you get to the first .PDF
