notepad++ Regular Expression Substitution example

Example 1:

\{and \} represent {and} respectively

[^ \{\}] matches a character other than {and}

* Match as many of the characters in front of it as possible, at least 0 + matches as many as possible to match the character in front of it, at least one

This fits together: \{[^\{\}]*\} matches the innermost curly brace

Example 2:

\ (and \) represent (and) respectively

. Match any one character

*?

Zero or more of the previous group, but minimally:the shortest matching string, rather than the longest string as with th E "greedy" * operator. Thus, M.*?o applied to the text margin-bottom:0; Would match Margin-bo, whereas M.*o would match Margin-botto.

Then \ (typedef_.*?; match (one match at a time)
