@matt c I wasn't talking about you

Cheers!

Fixed it and this doesn't work anymore.

I'd appreciate if you (@dfhwze) where a little more constructive than calling me a virus. I don't think that term would even really apply to this situation in the first place.

No, I'm not a virus

yeah that user is a virus parasite

If you want, I do a voice over.

Regex seems to have become contentious. I learned it long ago, and it's useful across several languages. But I don't think it ever made the difference in whether or not I got a job, and using it first just because I knew it tended to prevent me from learning language tricks and features as I'd just go find "how do I do regex in Python/JS/Ruby/C#/whatever" instead of how to solve the problem with native tools.

It's also not a thing every programmer knows, and regex can be hard to read and decode later which makes it not an ideal thing to use.

I think anyone learning a language can safely ignore regex. But that statement will upset a lot of regex fans.
