A Regex oda Regular Expression (boarisch: Regulära Ausdruck) is a Sequenz vo Zoachn, wo a Suachmusta definiad.

S Suachagebnis griagd ma midn Regex
(?<=\.) {2,}(?=[A-Z])
Zwoa Laazoachn miassn gfundn wean, owa nua wens noch an Punkt (.) afdredn und voa an groussn Buachstom.

Regex wean in da Softwareentwicklung vawendd owa aa in Texteditorn, wo s zan Suacha und Dasetzn vo Zoachnkeedn vawendd wean. So konst in ana Wikipedia olle Weata aussasuacha, wo mit A oofanga und mid -bichl afhean. Do is wuascht, wejchane Zoachn dazwischn liegn. Sowos geht nua mid an Regex.

D Syntax vo d Regex variiad a wengal zwischn vaschiednan Apps.

[^ ] A Complement Box (Gengdoalskostn) dameglicht, dass oanzlne Zoachn in an Text oda ana Zoachnkeedn ned gfundn wean.

\n n is a Ziffa vo 1 to 9; driffd wos da nte markiade Untaausdruck driffd. Den Operator gibts ned in da daweitadn Regex-Syntax.
* A oanzlns Zoachn gfoigt vo "*" driffd Nui oda meah Kopien vo dem Ausdruck. Beispuisweis, "ab*c" driffd "ac", "abc", "abbbc" etc. "[xyz]*" driffd "", "x", "y", "zx", "zyx", und so weida.
  • \n*, where n is a digit from 1 to 9, matches zero or more iterations of what the nth marked subexpression matched. For example, "(a.)c\1*" matches "abcab" and "abcabab" but not "abcac".
  • A Ausdruck wo vo "\(" and "\)" eihgschlossn is, gfoigt vo an "*" guit ois invalid.
