Regex wiki

I’m guessing the wiki is down since I can’t get to the page for the regular expression, but I also thought it would be cool to have a place where everyone shared some expressions that they used often or found useful at some point and have a simplified english translation next to it, something like:

‘\d\d\d\d’ = “look for 4 consequtive digits”
much like the way they teach it here

anyone have any to share?

I find this site very helpful: http://txt2re.com/

Would other people find this useful? IMO there are probably better resources for it but we can do something for it if people want it.

2 useful links I’ve used in the past:
