Regex get entire word starting with @

Question

basically im trying to create a regex pattern that get every word that starts with an @
For example :

@Server1:IP:Name Just a few words more 

the pattern should find "@Server1:IP:Name"
Ive created a regex pattern that worked so far :

/@\w+/

The problem is everything after a colon wont get matched anymore. If i use this regex i get this as a result for example :

@Server1

how do i make sure it will get the entire word starting with an @ and ignoring colons in it?

Answer 1

it is works fine try it:

@\w\S+

https://regex101.com/

\\w matches any word character (equal to [a-zA-Z0-9_])

matches any non-whitespace character

+ Quantifier — Matches between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy)

Answer 2

You can use this

 @[\w\s:]+

• \\w matches any word character (equal to [a-zA-Z0-9_])
• \\s matches any whitespace character (equal to [\\r\\n\\t\\f\\v ])
• : matches the character : literally (case sensitive)

If your string contains any (!@#$%^&*()_+.) you could add them too.

Answer 3

try this @\\S+

It gives you everything between "@" and the next space.

\\S matches any non-whitespace character.
