Regex exercise - word delimited by marker

Time:10-20

I am a beginner to regex, and cannot understand well how to proceed on the following task.

Imagine there is a code with words like follows: object.foo and object.bar().
I am interested to gather all words after the dot preceded by the word object.

The raw text is available here. May you help me write a bash code to collect these words?

CodePudding user response:

You could try a positive lookbehind: (?<=object\.)\w* to find all words preceded by object..
Apart from that, I would suggest you look at Regex basics on regex101.com or regexr.com, as pointed out in the comments.
