What special characters must be escaped in regular expressions?

I want to get the time in the following line. I want to get the string
2017-07-07 08:30:00.065156
in
[ID] = 0,[Time] = 2017-07-07 08:30:00.065156,[access]
I tried this
(?<=[Time] = )(.*?)(?=,)
Where i want to get the string in-between the time tag and the first comma but this doesn't work.
[Time] inside a regex means a T, an i, an m, or an e, unless you escape your square brackets.
You can drop the reluctant quantifier if you use [^,]* in place of .*:
(?<=\[Time\] = )([^,]*)(?=,)

Regex for string contains?
(5 answers)
Closed 7 months ago.
I have list of strings
03000_textbox (57447),
03990_textbox (57499),
03000_textnewbox (57447)
I want to use regex to capture 1st and 2nd elements of list.
Anything that contains substring textbox i.e.
03000_textbox (57447)
03990_textbox (57499)
Here is the regex you're looking for :
[0-9]+_textbox \([0-9]+\)
Live sample : https://regex101.com/r/2oiwcF/1
Don't forget to put a global (g) flag so you can get every match and loop into.

Reference - What does this regex mean?

I'm trying to write a regex represent 'recognizes words that begin and end in "t".'
I think that the below code is true.
var re = /^t+t*t$/
But it shows 'false'
e.g.
re.test('triplet')
re.test('thought')
re.test('that')
why doesn't my answer solve the above string?
and what is the proper regex?
Your regex is wrong, as pointed out in the comments.
A naive approach could be to check if the entire word starts with t, has any number of any character and then ends with t:
var re = /^t.*t$/
of course, you could also limit the "middle" character to letters:
var re = /^t[a-z]*t$/
However, neither of these approaches check for a word that is a single "t" character. If this is a valid usecase, you'll have to handle it explicitly, e.g.:
var re = /^(t[a-z]*t|t)$/

Regular Expression to get a string between parentheses in Javascript
(10 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I used
let regExp = /\(([^)]+)\)/;
to extract
(test(()))
from
aaaaa (test(())) bbbb
but I get only this
(test(()
How can I fix my regex ?
Don't use a negative character set, since parentheses (both ( and )) may appear inside the match you want. Greedily repeat instead, so that you match as much as possible, until the engine backtracks and finds the first ) from the right:
console.log(
'aaaaa (test(())) bbbb'
.match(/\(.*\)/)[0]
);
Keep in mind that this (and JS regex solutions in general) cannot guarantee balanced parentheses, at least not without additional post-processing/validation.

What special characters must be escaped in regular expressions?

Closed 3 years ago.
I am new to RegEx in python. I have created a RegEx formula which should find some special string from text but it is not working as exprected;
def find_short_url(str_field):
search_string = r"moourl.com|ow.ly|goo.gl|polr.me|su.pr|bit.ly|is.gd|tinyurl.com|buff.ly|bit.do|adf.ly"
search_string = re.search(search_string, str(str_field))
result = search_string.group(0) if search_string else None
return result
It should find all the URL shortner from a text. But the su.pr is detecting as surpr from the text. Is there any way to fix it?
find_short_url("It is a surprise that it is ...")
output
'surpr'
It can affect other shortner too. Still scratching my head.
Escape the dots:
search_string = r"moourl\.com|ow\.ly|goo\.gl|polr\.me|su\.pr|bit\.ly|is\.gd|tinyurl\.com|buff\.ly|bit\.do|adf\.ly"
In regex, a dot matches any character. Escaping them makes them match a literal dot.

Match exact string
(3 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have the following regex for a string which starts by a + and having numbers only:
PatternArticleNumber = $"^(\\+)[0-9]*";
However this allows strings like :
+454545454+4545454
This should not be allowed. Only the 1st character should be a +, others numbers only.
Any idea what may be wrong with my regex?
You can probably workaround this problem by just adding an ending anchor to your regex, i.e. use this:
PatternArticleNumber = $"^(\\+)[0-9]*$";
Demo
The problem with your current pattern is that the ending is open. So, the string +454545454+4545454 might appear to be a match. In fact, that entire string is not a match, but the engine might match the first portion, before the second +, and report a match.
