Regular expression to search multiple strings Textpad

Question

I m a bit new to regex and am looking to search for multiple lines instaces of some wildcard strings such as  8768   9875   2353   I would like to pull all instances of these  within one file  rather than searching them individually    Any help is greatly appreciated  I ve tried things such as  8768  9875 etc

To get the lines that contain the texts 8768, 9875 or 2353, use:

^.*(8768|9875|2353).*$

What it means:

^                      from the beginning of the line
.*                     get any character except \n (0 or more times)
(8768|9875|2353)       if the line contains the string '8768' OR '9875' OR '2353'
.*                     and get any character except \n (0 or more times)
$                      until the end of the line

If you do want the literal * char, you'd have to escape it:

^.*(\*8768|\*9875|\*2353).*$

If I understand what you are asking  it is a regular expression like this     8768 9875 2353    This matches the three sets of digit strings at beginning of line only

I suggest much better solution  Task in my case  add http   google com  path before each record and import multiple fields   CSV single field value  all images just have filenames  separate by      123 jpg 345 jpg 567 jpg   Tamper 1st plugin  find and replace by REGEXP  pattern     a-zA-Z0-9      replacement  http   google com  1  Tamper 2nd plugin  explode setting  explode by    In this case you don t need any additinal fields mappings and can use 1 field in CSV
