Thanks will try that :) , and are you still reading it or ?
and how is your progress now?

I recommend the book "Mastering Regular Expressions" by J.Friedl. I read only 100 pages out of 500 and already pretty good with regex.

Same here, I've put my focus more on the applicable things to get myself up and running, and letting regex be more of a side-interest that I can always google when needed and learn by association. https://regexr.com/ is useful for testing out techniques and adjusting results

yeah, I read further into how regex works. However, I still don't understand how to utilize capturing groups.

The way I look at it, at first you don't necessarily need to know how to build one to use it, just know what pieces go where and test it out to makes sure it works. Then as you see various examples for differen't purposes, the syntax starts to make a little more sense.

My brain just imploded with reading regExp. When will I ever get it? :'(

good explanatio!
thank you!

I'm sure I'm missing something, but how does it then account for strings that are only 2 or 3 characters long? Why are there no RegExp errors?

Can someone explain how this specific regex works?

this is so clean and tight, nice to see how to properly do it after making a mess of it and "cheating" by avoiding regexp :)

This is so beautiful, Thank you.

Clever one!
