@ivory You might want to rather use \b instead of (space), so you're also able to match hashtags and other non-alpha-numeric chars.

@ivory Like the topic you‘ve chosen for your example regex… 🤫

@ivory One of my favourite sites is RegExper, which visualises regular expressions. Useful if they are more complex.

@ivory At last, no more Elongated Muskrat

@ivory which flavor should we pick in the left column to match how Ivory will interpret the regex?

@ivory so filter values are basically always regexp?

@ivory This is AWESOME! Thank you!

I would strongly recommend Chapter 8 of the BBEdit Manual for anyone who wants to learn more about Regular Expressions. It's my go-to whenever I need help with a tricky pattern match.

I believe we have @gruber to thank for that one.

It is available here:

@ivory 🙂 That topic example choice! 👍🏻💕

@ivory I feel this is relevant somehow

@ivory oh ffs you couldn’t just wrap the keywords in ‘\b…\b’ like everyone else does and all your users expect from decades of Google and other full-text search engines

@ivory Regex and Fun in one sentence… 🤣

@ivory brilliant!

@ivory \byouknowwho\b gets initial Youknowwho and when punctuation follows.

@ivory As someone who has been a software developer for over 30 years, I can definitely state that regexes are the work of satan

@ivory You can also ask ChatGPT, it’s great at generating regex!

@ivory Que buen troleo con Mr. Mosco.

@ivory I've actually found that ChatGPT is really useful for writing RegEx when I can't figure it out myself.

@ivory nice
