Best Regular Expressions Book : goo.gl/RFX7eJ Here I explain how Regular Expressions are used. I cover all of the codes and what they are used for. The goal is to teach you how to use regular expressions once and for all.
Learning regex by my self gave me a temporary hypertension stage 1 .. it "literally" rose my blood pressure and i am not kidding! .. what you are doing here is amazing in my free time as a professional programmer i always watch videos of things i know and i don't know to make sure i learned and i will learn the right way :) .. so thank you sir for this amazing work and please please and another please ... keep posting tutorials you are a natural educator!
I agree with adminq. This guy is GOOD. Clear explanations, does not repeat himself, and do you notice that there are no filler words, ie. "ummms.. ", "ahhh.... " and ".... hmmmm...". Very polished speaker which greatly aids in making the points very clear. So glad I found a resource to explain what exactly these rascally reg expressions actual mean and do. Thanks!
I really enjoyed this tutorial. As a J2EE developer, I don't have to use regex often, so always just piece them together when the occasion arises. I've finally decided to nail them though! Thanks for your well explained introduction.
One more thing. Thank you for this simple but yet powerful example. Your 123 Main St. example put me on the right path to solving a parsing problem that I have not been able to solve for some time. Instead i would take the data into excel and parse it there, now I have created a reg expression that does it in the script! Thanks!
I agree, i watched a few other tutorials as well as read a ton of articles and tried some reg ex softwares but this tutorial is explained very well and I picked it up a lot quicker. I solved a major problem that I was having within minutes. This is a successful tutorial.
THANK YOU. Regular expressions were my first big hang up with javascript, and it seemed like no tutorials took it step-by-step. Yours was the first video to really help me.
Personally I loved his accent and the way he enunciated key aspects. It helps with keying in on the concept he was teaching. Droning on and on puts your brain to sleep, this method keeps me engaged. Well done sir.
+Derek Banas Do you think you can do a few more like this first video going more in depth with flags and replace functions and pretty much all the other symbols you showed as possibilities? (I saw some code where the replace function had "-$1" which apparently means something with regex?) I'm studying Javascript, so the 2 other vids were not as good for me, but this first one was a lot more general so a huge help. Thanks again!
Lovely tutorial, I studied regexp in the past but untill these days I never had the chance to use them so hard. Thank you. Seriously! I'm subscribing and going on with the lessons.
Been using regex every now and then for about two years (am a PHP dev) finally decided I should learn it properly. This is the best tutorial series I've found so far! Good job.
Four minutes in and you've already made regular expressions SO MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND for me! Thank you so much! Ok, now I need to finish the video :P
Best tutorial I've seen - covered everything I need to get started with Regex in 12 minutes , should have come here first rather than spending 3 hours wading through confusing badly written sites.
Thank you! I've been a sys ad for 5 years and searching how I can make my work easier and read about regex but I'm struggling to get it. I've learned more in this 12 minutes video than my week of reading regex articles
between you and Bucky (TNB) - the BEST tutorials on the internet. Both are very concise, very informative and explained brilliantly. Keep up the good work DB. I dig how you always start your tut's the same way "Well Hello Internet" LOL
The way you explained how to search for "123 Main St." was one of the most useful examples found during my search of Regex. I have only viewed this one video but if what follows is anything like the viewed video, well I am ready to jump in with both feet.
@ConstantlyCode You're very welcome. I don't understand why so many professors struggle with teaching regex. I sometimes wonder if they understand the subject themselves?
This is really Awesome!!...I was so impressed that I actually paused tutorial half way through to write this comment.... Really great work. Thank you so much !!
Thank you so much. I've been searching just for \. and just a clear explanation of this. 5 min's of your video helped me a lot. I'll definitely be checking your other tutorials out, as it seems you actually pay attention to the little details that many programmers will look over. Thanks again.
Bravo! A great deal of information packed into a very short time. You know that scene in 'The Matrix,' where Neo is learning combat training? Tank asks if he wants more, and Neo says, "hell, yeah.' Tank says, 'Hey, Mikey, I think he likes it!' This is like that.
Fantastic video / tutorial. Thank you very much. I feel like this time, it might actually stick in my brain. You explained it in a way that was very simple to grasp. Early today I had spent about 2 hours in my books with a highlighter tryng to "Get" regex. Your tutorial was much easier to understand. Thanks again!
awesome video. after 4 years of programming i've finally took time to learn this in 10 minutes lol. every time i had to use regular expressions i'd use a templated one on the web.
Derek Banas I am sorry I have not subscribed though. I'd learn something new or have my issues cleared out from your videos and excitedly run back to my work.
Dig it man. Can't wait to see the next video. I love the ease at which you showed those Regex(). Learned a great deal in this video and am going to try to use these more and in more complex ways. Thanks again for the videos, I love them. NTT University Student, out.
Thanks for quality tutorials. After your first couple videos I had the understanding to format ~1200 lines of code in our project with one line of regex. I don't see many others providing information for all skill levels, but you certainly do. Keep up the good work!
Your video is epic. I really needed this explained in the way that you were able to. I am barely clinging on to an A- in my advanced Java class, and my tutor just jumped ship. Thank you!
Ryan Bradley I have my Java tutorial here www.newthinktank.com/videos/java-video-tutorial/ I also have Java tutorials that cover everything from algorithms and design patterns through refactoring. I hope it helps :)
Thank you very much, but I can assure you that just about everyone making tutorials on RU-vid don't do it for the money. We are all just grateful to be able to help so many nice people :)
@RyderDonahue I teach the Perl version of Regular Expressions which are the most commonly used. There also is another version called POSIX. What I'm teaching works almost exactly in every language with a small tweak here and there
@BastiaanGrisel Thanks :) I went a little crazy and created about 10 videos on regexs for a bunch of languages. After watching them you should be able to grab or find pretty much anything.
amazing, this things is not this simple to learn from other sources. You've really done it in a very organized way. Thanks! I'll let you know if I would like to see any specific tutorial and you can make it (maybe) :)
There are things that are easy to learn, those that take a lot of time to learn and then there are those special languages, scripts or codes that just do not make sense.... and no matter the amount of searching and endless hours watching tuts or reading articles, you end up more confused. RegEx being one and the other, for me, is Cross-domain proxy bypass. Thanks to Derek, just from this first part, he connected almost all the dots in such a clear and simple way. I have a feeling you have just saved me many hours of headaches. 2000 thanks! By chance, do you have a tut on cross domain proxy bypass :D Off to part 2, Cheers!
Thank you :) I'm happy the video helped. Sorry I haven't covered the other topic yet. I also have an updated Regex tutorial that goes into more depth here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R1PcJfzsUU0.html
