Regex match entire words only

Question

I have a regex expression that I\'m using to find all the words in a given block of content, case insensitive, that are contained in a glossary stored in a database. Here\'s

Answer 1

If you are doing it in Notepad++

[\w]+ 

Would give you the entire word, and you can add parenthesis to get it as a group. Example: conv1 = Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation=LeakyReLU(alpha=a), padding='valid', kernel_initializer='he_normal')(inputs). I would like to move LeakyReLU into its own line as a comment, and replace the current activation. In notepad++ this can be done using the follow find command:

([\w]+)( = .+)(LeakyReLU.alpha=a.)(.+)

and the replace command becomes:

\1\2'relu'\4 \n    # \1 = LeakyReLU\(alpha=a\)\(\1\)

The spaces is to keep the right formatting in my code. :)
