Regular Expressions Matching Simple Patterns Selecting a certain line from a list based on a word in certain location
Example
I have the following list:
1. Alon Cohen
2. Elad Yaron
3. Yaron Amrani
4. Yogev Yaron
I want to select the first name of the guys with the Yaron surname.
Since I don't care about what number it is I'll just put it as whatever digit it is and a matching dot and space after it from the beginning of the line, like this: ^[\d]+\.\s.
Now we'll have to match the space and the first name, since we can't tell whether it's capital or small letters we'll just match both: [a-zA-Z]+\s or [a-Z]+\s and can also be [\w]+\s.
Now we'll specify the required surname to get only the lines containing Yaron as a surname (at the end of the line): \sYaron$.
Putting this all together ^[\d]+\.\s[\w]+\sYaron$.
