ChatGPT Tip: Generate Regex Carefully

Generate Regex Carefully

Regex needs examples and counterexamples.

Best way to use it:

• Provide matching examples.
• Provide non-matching examples.
• Ask for explanation and tests.

Copy-ready prompt:

Create a regex for [task]. It should match: [examples]. It should not match: [counterexamples]. Explain it and provide test cases.

Quality check:

• Examples pass.
• Counterexamples fail.
• Escaping fits your language.

DropTicks note:

Use ChatGPT like a workstation, not a magic answer box. Give it the role, goal, input material, constraints, expected output format, and review criteria. The stronger your workflow, the better the result.
