For example, a file contains multiple strings, where some look like this:
--EX "ABCDEFG"
I created the following regular expression to see if the line matches:
^--EX\ \".*\"$
My question is now, can I somehow extract the content of .* in order to just get ABCDEFG?
Are regular expressions suitable for this?
Put parentheses around the part you want to get.
Then in whatever your code, it will be match 1, most implementations of regex imply match 0 is the full match, and match 1 will be the first set of parenthesis, and so on.
