Regex: Match all words that contains some special characters

Question

I have a text in which 3 kind of words are repeating:

class="text"
style="line-height:13.5pt">
{font-family:

I want a regex to match these "words", which may contain characters like " > : = - { } as well as the standard "word characters" that can be matched using\w.

I made a regex:

(\w)+(?=\w*[a-z])(?=\w+[\{+\=+\"+\}+\:])\w+

but doesn't work.

Answer 1

Use a character class that includes both traditional word chars and your extra ones:

[\w">:={}-]+

Note that you don't need to escape those chars inside a character class. This even includes the hyphen when it's first or last.
