I would like to ask about the Regular Expression please.

FYI, I just started learning RegEX, so I’m really a noob about RegEx for now = =”

My question is,

for example, I would like to “replace” all the characters (words) when it finds the MATCHED “characters” or “words” in the following, but I don’t know what RegEx I should use

363UUID:2126A5D926
IKYUUID :FC1012AA09545
KYDKYEUUID :2CC2F29D54D7849(&#

I use
Find “UUID:……….” <=== I use "." for ten times
Replace “my words”

However, It’s only replace like the following

363my words
IKYmy words545
KYDKYEmy wordsD7849(&#

But that’s not what I want
because it’s only replace the ten “characters” only I want to replace all the “characters” which doesn’t matter how many left on that line,
But I want to replace them all SINCE it finds the MATCHED “characters” or “words” and the result I want should be like the following.

363my words
IKYmy words
KYDKYEmy words

As you can see, It was my bad using “.” RegEx for “ten dots”, but I can use “twenty dots” in this case to make it works
However, ASSUME I don’t know What is the Highest number of dots I should use as if there are thousand of lines,
and each line doesn’t have the same number of characters.

FYI, I can just use ………………………………… as much as I want, However, if in that documents only has “LESS” characters for each line than the “dots” RegEX I used,
the program will do NOTHING, and give me “Error BEEP (sound)”

So can you give me the Correct (EASY) RegEx I could use please

Thank you so much if anyone can help me out for this.

Hi, this is another example,

abc.com – Log in

xyz.com – Log in

Here I want the “RegEX” to replace those 2 lines or more lines and need the result like the following

http://members.abc.com
http://members.xyz.com

As you can see that, I would like to remove OR replace all the characters & numbers & symbols that occur before http://, and remove OR replace all the characters & numbers & symbols that occur after .com

what should I do?

Thank you so much if anyone can help me out. !!!

Perhaps

UUID:.+

would work, “.+” means one or more characters, so it could match either 10 or 20 characters both. :-)

For this situation, I guess sub-patterns with parentheses may help :-)

Try replace

^.*(https?://members.(abc|xyz).com).*$

with

1

Hi, ToadLoadin

All your solutions are really great, they work very well

BTW, I have tried many examples and also try to play with more regular expression, and it really fun right now. However, if I stuck with something in the future about Regular Expression then I would need your help again >_< Thank you so much ToadLoadin :-D :-D :-D
