How to separate symbols from text with regex?

To separate symbols from text using regex, you can match any non-alphanumeric character using the following regular expression pattern:

1

/[^ws]|_/

Explanation:

• [^ws]: This part of the pattern matches any character that is not a word character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) or a whitespace character. The ^ inside the square brackets indicates negation.
• |: This is the OR operator that allows you to match either non-alphanumeric characters or underscores.
• _: This part of the pattern matches underscores.

You can use this regular expression pattern with the split() function in most programming languages to separate symbols from text. For example, in Python, you can do the following:

1
2
3
4
5

import re

text = "Hello, world! This is a sentence with symbols."
symbols = re.split(r'[^ws]|_', text)
print(symbols)

This will split the text into an array of words and symbols based on the regular expression pattern provided.
