Given the following code
print("aaa")
#print("bbb")
# print("ccc")
def doSomething():
print("doSomething")
How can I use regular expression in Atom text editor to find all the print functions that are not commented out? I mean I only want to match the prints in print("aaa") and print("doSomething").
I've tried [^#]print, but this also matches the print in # print("ccc"), which is something that is not desired.
[^# ]print doesn't match any line here.
The reason I want to do this is that I want to disable the log messages inside a legacy project written by others.
Since you confirm my first suggestion (^(?![ \t]*#)[ \t]*print) worked for you (I deleted that first comment), I believe you just want to find the print on single lines.
The \s matches any whitespace, incl. newline symbols. If you need to just match tabs or spaces, use a [ \t] character class.
Use
^[ \t]*print
or (a bit safer in order not to find any printers):
^[ \t]*print\(
