How to use start and end restrictions in WebStorm search (and other JetBrains IDEs)?
1
I want to create a regex that will "unwrap" code that is quoted, in parentheses, brackets, or braces.
I have a regex that should work:
^["'({(.+)["')}]]$
The ^ and $ are important to prevent inner characters from breaking the match.
In WebStorm (2018.1.6) The regex works without the ^ and $:
["'({(.+)["')}]]
but fails if I add the start and end restriction:
^["'({(.+)["')}]]$
Is there a trick to do this? Is it a problem with combining "Regex" and "In Selection" modes for Search/Replace? Could it be a bug?
Any help?

The^and$in your current regex doesn't make any sense unless the match will necessarily match the entire line - they're start-of-line and end-of-line anchors. Try pasting in your real code instead: regex101.com/r/tEwrmM/2 (note that most of those characters in the character set don't actually need to be escaped)

You can't use '^' and ''$' since you are only matching part of the line (in the images)! There are characters before and after the match, that will make full line fail.

@PoulBak, thats what i meant by 'problem with combining "Regex" and "In Selection" modes'... I guess I expected that if I have "In Selection" checked that it will consider the beginning and end of the selection as the 'start-of-line and end-of-line'
