abstract:

com but not @hotmail.com
How can I  do that  in all one expression, Like you do pipe in unix


Hi,
I am using 'Edit Plus 'directory search option.  I don't know much about Regex
I need to write regex which gives me when ever there is word yahoo.com   and hotmail.com but not @hotmail.com
How can I  do that  in all one expression, Like you do pipe in unix

Code:
  1. /(yahoo\.com|[^@]*hotmail\.com)/
Copy Code
would be containing yahoo.com or hotmail.com but not @hotmail.com
would also match @yahoo.com
the | operator says 'or'; if you put the whole phrase in a match condition (the () operators) then it's one phrase or the other.  the [^something] syntax says 'not any character in these []'.  the * operator says '0 or more', so that if the string starts with hotmail.com it will still match.
try checking the other threads in the regex forum for some really helpful info about using regex in general, it will teach you a lot about the syntax and how to use it.  good luck!
