REgular expressions drive me nuts. Mostly because I learned text search and replace in MS Word.<\/p>\n

Find everything after the last \/ including the \/ itself<\/p>\n

for LibreWriter advanced search and replace<\/p>\n

[^\/]+$<\/code><\/p>\n

For other<\/p>\n

echo string\/string\/string | \/[^\/]*$
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

everything up to the last occurrence of \/
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

echo string | sed 's\/\\(.*\\)\/.*\/\\1\/'<\/code><\/pre>\n
\u00a0<\/code><\/pre>\n
A great site that has active testing — incredible<\/p>\n

Here is a cheat sheet:
\nhttp:\/\/www.rexegg.com\/regex-quickstart.html<\/a><\/p>\n
Here is a document:
\nhttps:\/\/www.princeton.edu\/~mlovett\/reference\/Regular-Expressions.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n
Here are a few examples that work for me:<\/p>\n
Find<\/p>\n
‘.*$
\nStarting with a single quote (‘) or whatever you need to match, match any character (.) zero or more times (*) until the end of the line ($).<\/p>\n
(?<=’).*$
\nThis basically says give me all characters that follow the ‘ char until the end of the line.<\/p>\n
‘.*?\\n
\nThis would only capture everything from ‘ until end of that line<\/p>\n
Find and replace keeping what was found:<\/p>\n
Find: any phrase with an two numbers followed by a forward slash and followed by any two numbers:
\n\\([0-9][0-9]\/[0-9][0-9] +\\)<\/p>\n
Replace:
\n\\1\\t<\/p>\n
Find: anything like 10\/21 and put it into a variable
\nThe \\( and +|) make what’s between become a variable that can be used. If there were more than one set of those separated by a dot then there would be more variables.<\/p>\n
Replace: the \\1 represents the variable while the \\t represents a tab. The result is that a tab has been inserted after the find expression.<\/p>\n
If more than one variable was used, i.e. \\(dutch+\\) \\(bros+\\) then the variables are \\1 and \\2.
\nTo replace “dutch bros” with “dutch and bros”, search for
\n\\(dutch+\\) \\(bros+\\)
\nand replace with
\n\\1 and \\2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
