Hello There,

I am new to this tool and i like working on it but I am facing some issues with using the formula expressions/syntax & in Regex.

Can anyone suggest me how to memorize it or what is the best way to do it ?

Thanks in advance.

Practice is the best way. I learnt by adding random text to a Text Input and see what works with the Formula and Regex Tools. Lots of trial and error.

 

The Regex Tool also has a cheat sheet you might find useful,

Also check out regexr.com or regex101.com for live feedback on how the different regex patterns affect the selection.

Hi @Robinsharma,

 

I suggest you practice more with the problems in hand. You can definitely go through the cheat sheet as suggested by other people but I suggest you use that only if it is urgent. you should practice more and get inot a habit of writing the formula and expressions by yourself.
