Here is my cheatsheet that has been very helpful. Obviously, this will not teach you how RegEx works, but is a good quick reference when I forget the exact syntax for something.

RegExp

Character classes

Pattern	Description
.	Any character, except newline
\w	Word
\d	Digit
\s	Whitespace
\W	Not word
\D	Not digit
\S	Not whitespace
[abc]	Any of a, b, or c
[a-e]	Characters between a and e
[1-9]	Digit between 1 and 9
[[:print:]]	Any printable character including spaces
[^abc]	Any character except a, b or c

Anchors

Pattern	Description
\G	Start of match
^	Start of string *
$	End of string *
\A	Start of string
\Z	End of string
\z	Absolute end of string
\b	A word boundary
\B	Non-word boundary
^abc	Start with abc
abc$	End with abc

For multiline patterns (m flag), ^ and $ will act as start and end of line.

Escaped characters

Pattern	Description
\. \* \\	Escape special character used by regex
\t	Tab
\n	Newline
\r	Carriage return

Groups

Pattern	Description
(abc)	Capture group
(a|b)	Match a or b
(?:abc)	Match abc, but don't capture
\1	Substituted with text matched of the 1st capturing group

Quantifiers

Pattern	Description
a*	Match 0 or more
a+	Match 1 or more
a?	Match 0 or 1
a{5}	Match exactly 5
a{,3}	Match up to 3
a{3,}	Match 3 or more
a{1,3}	Match between 1 and 3

Lookahead & Lookbehind

Pattern	Description
a(?=b)	Match a in baby but not in bay
a(?!b)	Match a in Stan but not in Stab
(?<=a)b	Match b in crabs but not in cribs
(?<!a)b	Match b in fib but not in fab
(?<![a-z])abc(?![a-z])	Match abc without any letters before/after

# RegExp

## Character classes

| Pattern       | Description                              |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `.`           | Any character, except newline            |
| `\w`          | Word                                     |
| `\d`          | Digit                                    |
| `\s`          | Whitespace                               |
| `\W`          | Not word                                 |
| `\D`          | Not digit                                |

| `[a-e]`       | Characters between `a` and `e`           |
| `[1-9]`       | Digit between `1` and `9`                |
| `[[:print:]]` | Any printable character including spaces |
| `[^abc]`      | Any character except `a`, `b` or `c`     |

## Anchors

| Pattern | Description            |
| ------- | ---------------------- |
| `\G`    | Start of match         |
| `^`     | Start of string \*     |
| `$`     | End of string \*       |
