A cheatsheet, stackoverflow and https://regex101.com/ - and of course a basic understanding of regular expressions in general.

If something gets too complex, I tend to write a Tokenizer / Lexer these days. It's not that hard.

Out of curiosity, do you perhaps have some specific examples where you opted to write a tokenizer/lexer?
