@grepper
match: (?i)(?<=-param\s)[^\s"]+|(?<=-param\s")[^“]+
what: used to extract data configuration parameters from a file. in execution, this is wrapped in a function where ‘param’ is defined by an argument.
why: i’m writing a bespoke data markup format for a powershell script that reads a txt document and returns a needlessly complicated and very specifically formatted excel document for my day job.
match: \d{2}(\d{2})?([/-])\d{2}\2(?(1)\d{2}|\d{4})
what: matches strings (ostensibly dates) in the format of xx-xx-xx or xx xx-xx-xx, using either / or - for separators.
why: custom syntax highlighting in sublime text.
match: (============\n============\n(.{3} ){2}(\d| )\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d (CDT|CST) \d\d\d\d\nbuilding file list \.\.\. done\n\nsent.*\ntotal.*\n\n)|(============\n============\n(.{3} ){2}(\d| )\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d (CDT|CST) \d\d\d\d\nbuilding file list \.\.\. done\n\n)|(============\n============\n(.{3} ){2}(\d| )\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d (CDT|CST) \d\d\d\d\nbuilding file list \.\.\. done\n\.\/\n((\d{6}\/\n)+)Client Notes\/\n\nsent.+\ntotal.*\n\n)|((\d{6}|Client Notes|\.)\/\n)
replace: {blank}
why: remove empty lines and blank entries from a log file
match: ^\d{4}-[^_]+
what: matches the first two id groups from a list of files for proccessing
match: ^(.*\r?\n)(\1)+
replace: $1
what: finds blocks of identical lines and removes all the copies in the block
[EN] Inserting Icons (or Other Content) Within Headers Using GREP – InDesign Tip of the Week
via youtube.com/PariahBurke —— More InDesign Tricks//News//Videos//Tutorials
TIL: InDesign has a regex token that will insert from the clipboard!
match: \d{8}-.*\.jpg
what: find all the jpg that are named like "########-text.jpg"
why: an automated process broke so i had to make a list of all the items in the input and output folders and compare them to figure out how much we needed to rerun. there wasn't a ton of work going on so i actually did a writeup of the whole thing.

match (old): ^$|^((?!@).)*$
match (new): ^[^@]*$
what: verify that '@' is not in a line, while allowing the line to be empty.
why: validate a field for a pageflex document that i was revising. i'm a bit dumbfounded as to how they could have arrived at such a messy solution. they apparently didn't understand how negated character sets work, but managed to do a negative lookahead. #smh
match: ^([^\|]*\|){2}([^\|]*\|).*$
replace: $2
what: extract the third column from a pipe-delimited file
match: ^([^_]*)(_[^_]*\.pdf)$
replace: $1,$1$2
what: format a list of PDF files named in the form [id code]_[arbitrary info].pdf and put them into a CSV file of the format [id],[filename]. This is intentionally skipping files that start with _, have more than one _ separating the groups, or more than two groups.
match: ^(20|1\d|[2-9])$
what: verify an input is a number between 2 and 20 in a system where you can't do gt/lt comparisons but you can do regex for some reason.
match:(~2)(\s)?2015(.*)All\srights\sreserved\.
replace:$1$22016$3
what:using InDesign's 'grep find' feature, find the legal line at the end of the letter and update it to 2016, also removing 'All rights reserved.'
why:new year and new legal requirements for 1003 different letter codes. The \s wildcard is used here because there are frustratingly many occasions where spaces are actually nonbreaking spaces or tabs.
match: ^.*__([^_\d]{1,3}\d{6}[^_\d]{0,3}).*(\d{6}_\d{2,3}(-\d{2,3})?_r\d*)$
replace: $1_$2
what: take a list of names and reformat them to strip out human readable information so only identifying codes remain.
why: client request
match: (\d{4}_\d{2,3})(/\s.*_)
replace: xcopy f:\\job\\mailing\\_template f:\\job\\mailing\\$1\\ /S /E
what: parse a client-supplied component list into a list of windows copy commands, so that a template folder set-up can be rapidly duplicated with the correct naming structure.
match: ^([^\n]*\n?){1,6}$
what: will match entries up to six lines in length, allowing empty lines to be entered.
why:Pageflex storefront doesn't provide constraints on any of its interface elements. Instead you have the option to validate any entry with regular expressions, which isn't exactly the most intuitive way of going about things.
match: ^\d+
what: match any numbers at the beginning of a string.
why: add a grep modifier to a paragraph style in InDesign that superscripts a number appearing at the start of a paragraph.
An interesting discussion of the issues surrounding writing regular expressions that match emoji, which isn't as standardized as you might think.
