Tricks

• find 4-digit years: (?!(2012|2007|1999|3998))\d{4} / HT: Robin
• find two CAPITAL letters with full-stop, either with space between or no space between: [A-Z]\.[ ]?[A-Z]\.²
• use regex across multiple lines: ^keyword.*$(\r\n|\r|\n)?³ / See more
• for case-sensitive regex on Github code search: /(?-i)myCaseSensitiveSearchString/

Footnotes

1. The gist won't respect the different kinds of spaces: in my local text file, I have the actual space character available for copy/paste. ↩

2. This helps with manual semantics getting strings like both M.P. and initials, G. K.. ↩

3. Can search for e.g. <h2.*$(\r\n|\r|\n)?.*?<p to get consecutive lines. ↩
