Tu es un expert en expressions régulières (regex). Je travaille avec le langage [LANGAGE_DE_PROGRAMMATION] et j'ai besoin d'une regex pour le cas suivant :

Objectif : [DESCRIPTION_DU_PATTERN_A_CAPTURER]

Exemples de chaînes qui doivent matcher :

  • [EXEMPLE_VALIDE_1]
  • [EXEMPLE_VALIDE_2]

Exemples de chaînes qui ne doivent PAS matcher :

  • [EXEMPLE_INVALIDE_1]
  • [EXEMPLE_INVALIDE_2]

Pour chaque regex que tu proposes, fournis :

  1. La regex complète prête à l'emploi dans [LANGAGE_DE_PROGRAMMATION]
  2. Une explication segment par segment de chaque partie de la regex
  3. Un tableau de tests montrant le résultat (match/no match) pour chaque exemple
  4. Les cas limites potentiels auxquels faire attention
  5. Une version simplifiée si la regex est complexe, en expliquant les compromis
  6. Un snippet de code fonctionnel dans [LANGAGE_DE_PROGRAMMATION] utilisant cette regex pour valider ou extraire les données

Why this prompt works

<p>This prompt is designed to produce reliable and understandable regular expressions. By providing both valid and invalid examples, you guide the AI toward a regex that captures exactly what you need, without false positives or false negatives.</p><p>The key to a good result lies in the <strong>precision of your description</strong>. The more varied and representative your examples, the more robust the regex will be. Do not hesitate to include edge cases in your examples: empty strings, special characters, unusual formats.</p><p><strong>Advanced tip</strong>: if your need is complex, first ask for a simple version covering 90% of cases, then refine progressively. Also specify whether performance matters (some regex with lookbehind or backtracking can be costly on large volumes of text).</p>

Use Cases

Validate data formats (emails, phone numbers, postal codes, IBAN)Extract structured information from raw text or logsParse and clean CSV files or poorly formatted API responsesCreate validation rules for web forms

Expected Output

A complete regular expression with a segment-by-segment explanation, a test table validating the provided examples, edge case identification, and a ready-to-use code snippet in the chosen language.

    Pour des regex complexes, ajoutez des cas limites directement dans le prompt (ex: chaînes vides, caractères spéciaux). Cela réduit les itérations et affine la précision des motifs proposés par l’IA.

ChatGPT Prompt for Generating Python Code

ChatGPT has become an indispensable tool for Python developers, whether beginners or experienced. Thanks to its advanced understanding of natural language, it can transform a functional description into clean, structured, and functional Python code in seconds. But the quality of the generated code depends directly on the quality of the prompt used. A vague prompt will produce generic and often unusable code, while a well-structured prompt will generate production-ready code with error handling, typing, and documentation. In this guide, we provide optimized prompts to get the most out of ChatGPT for generating Python code. Whether you need to write an automation script, a REST API, a data processing algorithm, or a complex class, these prompts will help you obtain precise and professional results. The goal is to save you time while maintaining a high level of quality, guiding ChatGPT with the right instructions so that it respects PEP 8 conventions, includes docstrings, and produces maintainable code.
