📂 Favorite Projects

1. ara225.DynamoDBUserStore - A C# ASP .NET Core library that allows developers to store users and roles in AWS DynamoDB when using ASP .NET Core Identity. This is my favorite because it's the most likely to be used in production, it has full test coverage, and is quite well written. Byproduct of me trying to learn C#
2. node-js-pxe-server - A Node.js module written in JavaScript that runs a PXE server - server for network booting computers. I like this project because it sounds like it shouldn't work, but it very much does.
3. regex-copy-or-cut - A JavaScript/Node.js VsCode Extension. The first piece of code I ever published, and also the one with the most downloads.
4. serverless-audiobook-maker - A AWS serverless pipeline to create a speech-to-text audiobook from a text file uploaded to a S3 bucket. Turned out to be useless as AWS Polly isn't as good as it's cracked up to be, but it was fun to make.

regex-copy-or-cut's Issues

Not working regex

Let's say I have this text:

Posted 3 weeks ago
Rystad Energy
DevOps Engineer
Rystad Energy Your Energy Knowledge House

if I search for "ago" the result in the new file is "Posted 3 weeks ago". This is not the regex I need and as you can see here the regex should only return ago and not the entire line:

Then if I search for ago\n.*\n to have the "Rystad Energy" I get a "no match found" on the visual studio plugin. But when I test it on regex 101:

Could you please have look and check why the regex are not working?
