How to extract a part of the url through regular expression in textwrangler?

Question

My work involves manipulating lots of data. I use textwrangler as text editor but I guess the things would remain the same on all text editors.

So I have a url

 http://example.com/swatches/frisk-watches/pr?p[]=sort%3Dpopularity&sid=812%2Cf13&offer=GsdOfferOnWatches07.&ref=4c83d65f-bfaf-4db6-b5f5-d733d7b1d2af

The above one is a sample url

I want to capture the text GsdOfferOnWatches07. i.e text from offer= and till &ref using regular expression on textwragler Ctrl+F feature.

How can I do that?

$link = 'http://example.com/swatches/frisk-watches/pr?p[]=sort%3Dpopularity&sid=812%2Cf13&offer=GsdOfferOnWatches07.&ref=4c83d65f-bfaf-4db6-b5f5-d733d7b1d2af';

preg_match('/offer=(.*?)&ref/', $link, $match);      
echo $match[1];'

yes the above script is written in php. I didn't notice that your questions was not php related. But you can adopt the regex for your app. – Manu Feb 18 '14 at 09:45
Please tell me how to do that this kind of manipulation in the context of a text editor – John Doe Feb 18 '14 at 09:48
Try to use this regex: `offer=(.*?)&ref` – Manu Feb 18 '14 at 09:50
