no no, this is not a good way to do this. Regex is built specifically for this type of jobs, or a dedicated postgres connection string parser (which is part of the postgress connection lib, so hard to reuse in a better way). I did submit a better solution to this (IMO) - #907

In general for this type of issues, take a look at documentation -- I would use something like this, you can try it at https://rustexp.lpil.uk/

^postgres(?:ql)?://[^:@/?]+:([^:@/?]+)@ -- the password is captured as the first capture group

I'm not good at Regex actually I don't like Regex. So glad to see that there is a dedicated parser in other crate lib. Closed.

The reason I don't like Regex is it's easy to write hard to read later..

it's not that bad, and it does save you in many cases, so highly advise to embrace it ... sparingly! ;)

TBH, I don't think the code of this PR is easier to read / understand -- string parsing in code is notoriously non-trivial to understand either

I think #907 is better for this - not as clean output, but more guaranteed
