Hello All,

I ave been playing around with regex this entire weekend. The issues that I was facing, I was able to get them resolved with the answers mentioned previously on the forum. However I am not able to create fresh regular expressions being from a non technical background.

Before posting this question I did a search on the forum, google and stack over flow but seems like I had some unrealistic expectations. I was trying to find an regex generator which will create an expression directly.

Does anyone have maybe a cheat sheet of regex tools or commands which a non-technical person can refer to and create a expression?

P.S.: A text file would be preferred over an video file :slight_smile:

Hi @VirajN

There are numerous sites for cheat sheets. You can search on Google.

The best one is to go through the Microsoft docs -

I always recommend https://regex101.com/ as it has the complete reference and you can test online on the same page. It also gives a full explanation of the pattern (useful when you copy it from another source and you want to understand / modify it)

Thank you for all the suggestions team. I did go through all the websites and indeed they were descriptive but I think I need to go back to basics as I am not able to make head or tail of the expressions.

I think I will have to take a beginner course to be able to better understand and write the expressions. Can anyone recommend what course I would need to take to understand regular expressions in detail?
