Proposed tag: question.

I want to make all class {Name}Test to be internal class {Name}Test, so I try to run:

ruplacer 'class (\w+)Test' 'internal class $1Test'

But it doesn't work as expected. I avoided it with

ruplacer 'class (\w+)(Test)' 'internal class $1$2'

But how can solve my issue without adding second capturing group?

Try putting a question mark after the + to make it non-greedy.
