Handy regular expressions
This is just a memo for myself to remember all regular expression that I often use:
- Remove sh*t from movie’s subtitles (there’s a longer article on this topic here):
\(([^)]+)\)— match everything between parentheses, including them,[A-Z ]+:— match all uppercase letters followed by colon and a space.
- Other:
^(.+?),— match everything from the beginning of the string until the first comma.
Surround with / for JavaScript (and JSON?). Thus first example (\(([^)]+)\)) becomes /\(([^)]+)\)/.
Probably no use for anyone else except me, sorry! :>
