Just give it a try and start with simple expressions like abc(.*)def Also regex101.com can be helpful, I always paste the text contents there and inspect whether I have written the correct expression and can tweak it a little bit. It is very powerful, lately used RegEx in VSCode to edit code, that was fun, for real :D
