# Regex Strategy

The regex strategy uses the pattern identified at `regex_pattern` on the file identified by `root` to determine the version.

**.gorc**
```sh

      with:
        regex_pattern: "(version:)(\\s)?(?<version>\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+(.+)?)\\n?"
        root: ./.gorc
        tag_prefix: "v"
