[RESOLVED] Regular Expression Help

[praveenp]

Hi,

I am bit slow in regular expressions, always getting confusion on how to use regular expression.

Whenever I required for instance getting code from the google and pasting but that will not serve all time.

Can anyone help me how to build regular expressions. Where I can get good examples so that i will learn something new.

Thanks in advance.

I installed it but did not get execute button for test Regular Expression.
I will try again and again. It seems to be very good tool, in the right side i found good examples.

Thanks

there is no execute button its dynamic, it checks as you type

when it first loads you have

\be(\w*)s\b

notice how all the words starting with e are highlighted, change the e to say r and all the words that start with r are highlighted.

you can change the text to what you want to match\experiment with
