Question

I’m wondering in general what would be the syntax to find all words that contain the phrase “pPath_” at the beginning of it. I realize that pPath_. finds all words with one character after it, but how to find with any amount of characters? (I’m using xCode find and replace)

Answer 1

For a simple definition of “word”,

pPath_\w*

If your engine doesn’t support \w or doesn’t have a useful definition for it, you can use a character class.

pPath_[a-zA-Z0-9_]*
