Regex Cheatsheet

This document provides a cheatsheet for regular expressions (regex). It outlines various regex patterns such as ?, *, [], {}, ^, $, \b, and \B that match characters, whitespace, word boundaries and line positions. It also covers capturing groups, lookarounds, quantifiers, alternation, and escaped characters. Common commands for text processing like cut, grep, sed and awk are summarized along with their most used options and operations.

{n} : exactly n times a{2} = aa

+ : Match the last ”block” one or more times ba+ = ba & baa & baaa…
? : any character ba? = b | a
^ : matches the starting line Basic | Bass | Based | Batido = Ba^

Comandos

cut

-c list : la lista especifica cualquier posición del caracter

-b list : La lista especifica la posición del byte

-f list : selecciona solo estas areas

-d delimiter : usar el delimitador como delimitar una área en vez del tab

grep

-i : ignore case during search

-r : search recursively

-v : invert match i.e. match everything except pattern

-l : list files that match pattern

-L : list files that do not match pattern

-n : prefix each line of output with the line number within its input file.

-A num : print num lines of trailing context after matching lines.

-B num : print num lines of leading context before matching lines.

sed (stream editor)


Pattern Operation Command Operation
-e combines multiple commands
s - substitution
g - global replacement
p - print
I - ignore case -f read commands from file
d - delete
G - add newline -h print help info
w - write to file
-n disable print
x - exchange pattern with hold buffer
-V print version info
h - copy pattern to hold buffer
s - substitution
g - global replacement -i in file subsitution
p - print

awk
awk pattern {action}
awk patterns may be one of the following

BEGIN : special pattern which is not tested against input. Mostly used for preprocessing, setting
constants, etc. before input is read.

END : special pattern which is not tested against input. Mostly used for postprocessing after input
has been read.

/regular expression/ : the associated regular expression is matched to each input line that

is read

relational expression : used with the if, while relational operators

&& : logical AND operator used as pattern1 && pattern2. Execute action if pattern1 and pattern2
are true

|| : logical OR operator used as pattern1 —— pattern2. Execute action if either pattern1 or


pattern2 is true

! : logical NOT operator used as !pattern. Execute action if pattern is not matched

?: : Used as pattern1 ?

pattern2 : pattern3. If pattern1 is true use pattern2 for testing else use pattern3

pattern1, pattern2 : Range pattern, match all records starting with record that matches pattern1
continuing until a record has been reached that matches pattern2

Most common action: print

string constants supported by awk

\\ : Literal backslash

\n : newline

\r : carriage-return

\t : horizontal tab

\v : vertical tab

Format specifiers are similar to the C-programming language

%d,%i : decimal number

%e,%E : floating point number of the form [-]d.dddddd.e[±]dd. The %E format uses E instead of e.

%f : floating point number of the form [-]ddd.dddddd


%g,%G : Use %e or %f conversion with nonsignificant zeros truncated. The %G

format uses %E instead of %e

%s : character string
