Regex to search Socket ID

[saurabh-lodha-16]

I have integrated Socket.io and use it for client and server data communication.

 socket.join(room); // join the room
 await redis.set(socket.id, room); // update redis with socket.id->room values

The problem is I did not add an expiry here and now my Redis is flooded with socket IDs. Since my database has other info, I wnated to know if there is an regex pattern for socket.id which I can use to search and then delete.

Hi!

You can use the following regex: [a-zA-Z0-9_-]{20} (or [\w-]{20})
