I'm really new to reddit and my friends keep on saying "/s" after I say something. I'm really lost as to what this means. Thanks.

r/regex on Reddit: Difference Between \s+ and \s+?
October 23, 2023 -
Hi. New to regex, but started working with a SIEM and trying to configure new rules. In this case I am trying to catch certain command lines that include "auditpol /set" or "auditpol /remove" or "auditpol /clear".
This is what I currently have and I think it works:
auditpol\s+\/(set|clear|remove)(.*)
But I noticed one of the similar built in rules had \s+? instead of \s+ and I'm wondering if there is any difference in this case and if so what it would be. Thank you.

A simple example to demonstrate the difference, using the text First Name and Second Name With (.+)Name the plus will extend to the final acceptable match, so there will be one match which is First Name and Second. With (.+?)Name the plus will extend only to the next acceptable match, so there will be two matches, which are First and and Second.

The difference is how the quantifier works, whether it's greedy or lazy. If you have \s+, then the quantifier (+) is greedy, meaning that it'll match whatever comes before it between 1 to infinite times, as many times as possible in one match, meaning that it's greedy. If you instead have \s+?, that makes it a lazy quantifier, which means that it'll still match whatever comes before it between 1 and infinite times, but it'll expand as needed. An example could be if you write "hello world" (with two spaces between the words), and use \s+, then you get one match, being the two spaces.But if you use \s+?, then it still matches the two spaces, but it'll handle each space as separate matches.

I see it everywhere. And I know the /* means the end of something, but what does the s stand for? Sarcasm? Smellz?

The slash signals the end of a tag in HTML code. For example, if you write random text on a web page source code, your browser will display "random text" in bold font AND will hide the underlying tag. You can think of it as a command to begin bold and end bold in hypertext language. Whenever you see a slash followed by a qualifier, it is meant to be understood that the preceding statement should be regarded — interpreted — with whatever descriptor is used. There is no need for a begin command because the computer is not the target, the reader is. If I write /rant at the end of a paragraph, it means that I am done bitching. The s tag is just an abbreviation of the qualifier-descriptor sarcasm; by convention, most people understand the whole expression without the need to spell it all out, just like a TL;DR or a PS etc.

In another OOTL thread u/adambrenecki explained the origins (of both the terms /thread and /s): Originally, in the good old forum days, it'd be spelled out "", like a HTML end tag. Over time it dropped the angle brackets. The same with "", which over time became "/sarcasm" and (as u/LOOK_AT_MY_ALL_CAPS points out) eventually becoming just "/s".
