| PLEASE DO IT CAREFULLY, SPECIAL CASES MAY OCCUR, SO BULK REPLACE IS NOT RECOMMENDED | |
| find: (:)(((?!:).)*?)(\s*=>) | |
| replace: ${2}: | |
| explanation: | |
| i. the brackets are used to create capture/matches groups, so that you can ommit the : (group 1) and the => (group 3) | |
| and use only the key (group 2) | |
| ii. ((?!:).)*? finds KEY text, it searches any text, expect it should not have : included, that's the role of (?!:) part, | |
| the ? is used to mark a non-greedy search, if not marked, some text like :KEY1 => VAL1, :KEY2 => VAL2 will end up |
