Sure. Press Ctrl+F, then type your regex pattern and hit Alt+Enter

You can activate/deactivate the **regex mode** in the search view clicking this icon:

Note that there is also a shortcut to activate it: &lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;R&lt;/kbd&gt; by default.

I have a Node.js application that is an http client (at the moment).  So I&#39;m doing:

    var query = require(&#39;querystring&#39;).stringify(propertiesObject);
    http.get(url + query, function(res) {
       console.log(&quot;Got response: &quot; + res.statusCode);
    }).on(&#39;error&#39;, function(e) {
        console.log(&quot;Got error: &quot; + e.message);
    });

This seems like a good enough way to accomplish this.  However I&#39;m somewhat miffed that I had to do the `url + query` step.  This should be encapsulated by a common library, but I don&#39;t see this existing in node&#39;s `http` library yet and I&#39;m not sure what standard npm package might accomplish it.  Is there a reasonably widely used way that&#39;s better?

[url.format](http://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_url_format_urlobj) method saves the work of building own URL.  But ideally the request will be higher level than this also.

I have a string like this : +33123456789 (french phone number). I want to extract the country code (+33) without knowing the country. For example, it should work if i have another phone from another country. I use the google library https://code.google.com/p/libphonenumber/.

If I know the country, it is cool I can find the country code :

    PhoneNumberUtil phoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
    int countryCode = phoneUtil.getCountryCodeForRegion(locale.getCountry());

but I don&#39;t find a way to parse a string without to know the country.

Is there a way I can enable multi-selection with regex? I don&#39;t want to do search and replace, I just want to highlight/select all of the matches according to regex.

Is this possible?

Multi-selection with regex (sublime text 2)

Specifically when does `^` mean &quot;match start&quot; and when does it mean &quot;not the following&quot; in regular expressions? 

From the Wikipedia article and other references, I&#39;ve concluded it means the former at the start and the latter when used with brackets, but how does the program handle the case where the caret is at the start and at a bracket? What does, say, `^[b-d]t$` match?

What function will turn  `this contains       spaces`  into `this contains spaces` using javascript?

I&#39;ve tried the following, using similar SO questions, but could not get this to work.

    var string = &quot; this contains   spaces &quot;;
    
    newString = string.replace(/\s+/g,&#39;&#39;); // &quot;thiscontainsspaces&quot;
    newString = string.replace(/ +/g,&#39;&#39;);  //&quot;thiscontainsspaces&quot;

Is there a simple pure javascript way to accomplish this?

I was just reading a question about how to get data inside double curly braces ([this question][1]), and then someone brought up balancing groups. I&#39;m still not quite sure what they are and how to use them.

I read through [Balancing Group Definition][2], but the explanation is hard to follow, and I&#39;m still quite confused on the questions that I mentioned.

Could someone simply explain what balancing groups are and how they are useful?

*Note: This is a question about possibilities of modern regex flavors. It&#39;s not about the best way to solve this using other methods. It&#39;s inspired by [an earlier question][1], but that one is not restricted to regex.*


## The Problem

In an ASCII &quot;image&quot;/art/map/string like:

    ....X.......
    ..X..X...X....
    X.X...X..X.....
    X....XXXXXX.....
    X..XXX...........
    .....X..........
    ..............X
    ..X...........X....
    ..X...........X....X...
    ....X.....

I&#39;d like to find a simple vertical line formation of three `X`s:

    X
    X
    X

The number of lines is variable in the image, and the width of *each* line is variable too.


## The Question(s)

With regex (PCRE/PHP, Perl, .NET or similar) is it possible to:

1. Determine if such a formation exists
2. Count the number of such formations/match the starting point of them all (4 in the above example)

I&#39;m using Sublime Text 2 and the `css.scss` and `css.less` files are in all white text - the comments, brackets, syntax - everything. If I look at my regular `css` files, they have color to differentiate all of the above. Has anyone else dealt with this? Is this some bug I&#39;m getting? How could I add my own color or take the same settings from the regular `css` file and add it to the `less` and `scss` one&#39;s?

In ST2, highlighting some text and pressing &lt;kbd&gt;alt&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;shift&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;w&lt;/kbd&gt; (on Windows) will wrap the current selection in `&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;` tags. But is there a way to specify *which* tag to wrap with? Because maybe I want to wrap in a span, or a div instead.

I need to migrate from sublime text 2 to sublime text 3 to have all the same configuration/plugins I have installed on the sublime text2.

I installed sublime text 3, but it does not have any of the sublime text 2 packages and settings. I really dont know if there are any straight forward methods to migrate or just copy of some folders.

I have a habit of hitting &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;T&lt;/kbd&gt; to open a new tab in ST2. However this invokes the transpose function. I could map the `new_file` command to &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;T&lt;/kbd&gt;, but is it possible to disable the command completely via user keymap file. My search suggested adding this to user keymap. 

    [ { &quot;keys&quot;: [&quot;ctrl+t&quot;], &quot;command&quot;: &quot;unbound&quot; } ]

Is the &quot;unbound&quot; an officially endorsed way of disabling a shortcut?
