Regex Tips
Use Non-Greedy Matching
Add ? after quantifiers (.*?) to match the shortest possible string instead of the longest.
Escape Special Characters
Characters like . * + ? [ ] ( ) | \ ^ $ have special meaning. Escape with \ if literal.
Test Incrementally
Build complex patterns step by step, testing each part before adding more complexity.
Use Named Groups
Use (?<name>pattern) for readable capture groups. Access with $<name> in replacements.
