Try constructing the expression a different way. There are several online resources with guidance to creating efficient regex patterns. Using the "advanced settings" find-and-replace tool, enter expressions on the "If" tab to filter the pages that an expensive find-and-replace rule is applied to.
Besides the built-in RE/flex POSIX regex pattern matcher, RE/flex also supports PCRE2, Boost.Regex and std::regex pattern matching libraries. PCRE2 and Boost.Regex offer a richer regular expression pattern syntax with Perl pattern matching semantics, but are slower due to their intrinsic NFA-based matching algorithm.
A regex search scans the text of each page on Wikipedia in real time, character by character, to find pages that match a specific sequence or pattern of characters. Unlike keyword searching, regex searching is by default case-sensitive, does not ignore punctuation, and operates directly on the page source (MediaWiki markup) rather than on the ...
Insource search is a handy tool that lets you find specific terms or regex patterns across all Wikimedia wikis. It generates a list of pages containing those terms, making it super useful for tasks like AWB/JWB and other search-related activities.
A regular expression (shortened as regex or regexp), [1] sometimes referred to as rational expression, [2] [3] is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text. Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings , or for input validation .
grep is a command-line utility for searching plaintext datasets for lines that match a regular expression.Its name comes from the ed command g/re/p (global regular expression search and print), which has the same effect.
RE2 is a software library which implements a regular expression engine. It uses finite-state machines, in contrast to most other regular expression libraries. RE2 supports a C++ interface. RE2 was implemented by Google and Google uses RE2 for Google products. [3]
If the regex itself is affected by user input, such as a web service permitting clients to provide a search pattern, then an attacker can inject a malicious regex to consume the server's resources. Therefore, in most cases, regular expression denial of service can be avoided by removing the possibility for the user to execute arbitrary patterns ...
