Greedy vs Lazy Matching 1. Basic Matchers A regular expression is just a pattern of characters that we use to perform a search in a text. For example, the regular expression the means: the letter t, followed by the letter h, followed by the letter e. "the" => The fat cat sat on...
Use non-greedy repeats. By appending ? to the repeat, it becomes non-greedy. This means that the expression tries to find the shortest possible match that doesn't prevent the rest of the expression from matching. So, to make the previous regex work correctly, we need to update it like s...
What’s also unclear now is what flavor of regular expressions is supported. There are a bewildering number of entities in the regex bestiary — character classes, positional indicators, quantifiers, subexpressions, lazy and greedy matches, and a range of grouping constructs that perplex even regex...
Non-capturing group (?:((http|ftp|https):){0,1}\/\/) 1st Capturing Group ((http|ftp|https):){0,1} {0,1} matches the previous token between zero and one times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy) A repeated capturing group will only capture the last iterat...
It also has another meaning. If placed before another set of instructions, it will make it less “greedy”. Given:I have an apple & an orange. /I have an.* [a-z]/might look like it’s going to matchI have an abut, in fact, it will matchI have an apple & an obecause.*means...

attempts to match the rest of the regex. If that fails, it “backtracks” and moves the cursor one character over and repeats. This can sometimes make the lazy star not at all faster or even slower than the greedy star. I saw this slight performance degradation in only one of my ...
