Regular expressions can be used to quickly match a very complex text logic using only a very short expression statement. Mastering regular expressions skillfully can greatly improve your development efficiency. This article will show you some regular expressions which are commonly used.
1. A string of Numbers, English letters, or underscores.
^\\w+$2. Check Date.
^(?:(?!0000)[0-9]{4}-(?:(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(?:0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-8])|(?:0[13-9]|1[0-2])-(?:29|30)|(?:0[13578]|1[02])-31)|(?:[0-9]{2}(?:0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|(?:0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])00)-02-29)$
The date validation of the “yyy-mm-dd” format has been considered for leap years.
3. Verify Password Strength.
^(?=.*\\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{8,10}$Password length is between 8 and 10, the strength must be a combination of upper and lower case letters and Numbers, no special characters.
4. Verify E-Mail Address.
[\\w!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\\.[\\w!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[\\w](?:[\\w-]*[\\w])?\\.)+[\\w](?:[\\w-]*[\\w])?5. Check IE Version.
^.*MSIE [5-8](?:\\.[0-9]+)?(?!.*Trident\\/[5-9]\\.0).*$6. Check Amount.
Accurate to 2 decimal
^[0-9]+(.[0-9]{2})?$7. Match HTML Tags.
The following expression can matches the HTML tag attributes.
<\\/?\\w+((\\s+\\w+(\\s*=\\s*(?:".*?"|'.*?'|[\\^'">\\s]+))?)+\\s*|\\s*)\\/?>8. Match CSS Properties.
The following expression allows you to search for matching CSS properties
^\\s*[a-zA-Z\\-]+\\s*[:]{1}\\s[a-zA-Z0-9\\s.#]+[;]{1}9. Match HTML Comments.

<!--(.*?)-->10. Match Html Hyperlink.
(<a\\s*(?!.*\\brel=)[^>]*)(href="https?:\\/\\/)((?!(?:(?:www\\.)?'.implode('|(?:www\\.)?', $follow_list).'))[^"]+)"((?!.*\\brel=)[^>]*)(?:[^>]*)>
11. Match Web Images.
\\< *[img][^\\\\>]*[src] *= *[\\"\\']{0,1}([^\\"\\'\\ >]*)12. Match Color Hex Codes.
^#([A-Fa-f0-9]{6}|[A-Fa-f0-9]{3})$13. Match URL Link.
^(f|ht){1}(tp|tps):\\/\\/([\\w-]+\\.)+[\\w-]+(\\/[\\w- ./?%&=]*)?14. Verify File Path And Extension For Windows.
The below example file extension is .txt.
^([a-zA-Z]\\:|\\\\)\\\\([^\\\\]+\\\\)*[^\\/:*?"<>|]+\\.txt(l)?$15. Check IP-V6 IP Address.
(([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){7,7}[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}|([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){1,7}:|([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){1,6}:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}|([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){1,5}(:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}){1,2}|([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){1,4}(:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}){1,3}|([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){1,3}(:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}){1,4}|([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){1,2}(:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}){1,5}|[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:((:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}){1,6})|:((:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}){1,7}|:)|fe80:(:[0-9a-fA-F]{0,4}){0,4}%[0-9a-zA-Z]{1,}|::(ffff(:0{1,4}){0,1}:){0,1}((25[0-5]|(2[0-4]|1{0,1}[0-9]){0,1}[0-9])\\.){3,3}(25[0-5]|(2[0-4]|1{0,1}[0-9]){0,1}[0-9])|([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){1,4}:((25[0-5]|(2[0-4]|1{0,1}[0-9]){0,1}[0-9])\\.){3,3}(25[0-5]|(2[0-4]|1{0,1}[0-9]){0,1}[0-9]))
16. Check IP-V4 IP Address.
\\b(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\\b
