How to use regexp

[DenniLa2]

I couldn't find any examples of how to write rules using regular expressions. Could you please provide guidance on how to do this?

• On wiki there is basic explanation - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression
• Also you can play around with it on https://regex101.com/
• Intellij is Java application, so is used Java regexp parser, which a little bit differs from others, but don't think that you would write such complicated things to notice the difference.
• FYI: Symbols are also regexp, so you can enter just words/phrases "main", "public static" etc.

If you have example of what you want to achieve I can help you a little bit with writing regexp.

Благодарю за ответ! Из-за слабого знания английского возникло недопонимание. Я не понимаю, куда в интерфейсе плагина вставлять регулярку? Пробовал по разному, но результата не добился ((

Thank you for the response! Due to my limited knowledge of English, there was a misunderstanding. I don't understand where to insert the regex in the plugin interface. I've tried different approaches, but haven't achieved any results ((.

@DenniLa2 Всё правильно. Тут пишешь регулярку, сохраняешь, закрываешь окно с настройками, открываешь настройки заново, идешь в Editor->Solor scheme->Better Highlights Tokens, находишь свою регулярку в списке и выставляешь ей цвет.

English: You are right. Here you write a regular expression, save it, close the settings window, open the settings again, go to Editor->Solor scheme->Better Highlights Tokens, find your regular expression in the list and set a color for it.
