This page contains a collection of useful regular expressions (RegEx), among others for URLs, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, IP addresses and wallet addresses.

The regular expressions are kept as neutral as possible. For some scripting or programming languages or various other programs, modifications - such as masking of certain characters - may be necessary. Checks for exact match (^ or $) or respect of word boundaries (\b) are usually not included. For the entire match, the expression can be enclosed in round brackets if these are not required and are already included anyway.

Apache HTTP Logs

^(\S+) (\S+) (\S+) \[([^:]+):(\d+:\d+:\d+) ([^\]]+)\] "(\S+) (.*?) (\S+)" (\S+) (\S+) "([^"]*)" "([^"]*)"

This expression splits one line of an Apache HTTP log (for PHP / PCRE)

The end of the expression must/can be adjusted depending on the available log fields.

The data included are: Host, user, password, date, time, time offset, method, request, HTTP version, status code, size, referrer, user agent
