Glad you've rediscovered your love of regex's lol I think like many powerful tools, an good understanding pays dividends. Nice video, Engineer Man :) BTW, my e-mail address has a hyphen in it, and there are a surprising number of e-mail regex's which don't match the RFC, denying my e-mail address :/

Had no idea what Regex was, i just clicked out of curiosity but this is something i wish i would have known 20 years ago, the whole time i was watching i my brain would think of all the things i could do w that. I'm learning this stuff, the potential is limitless.

@sukantamaikap3366 6 лет назад

I went through multiple regex tutorials and forgotten it an equal number of times after a period of not using it. That's not going to change this time either. But now I know which tutorial to refer to when I need a refresher. Thanks for this one. And would really appreciate a follow up video.

@guilhermerock182 3 года назад

That’s because our numerical system IS the arabic system, way more practical than the roman system.

@quentinwolf 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video Engineer Man! I truly hated dealing with Regular Expressions, and would run into situations where I'd try to change an existing one, or create a new expression that would simply break and no longer match what I was aiming for. Your detailed explanation has made it much less scary, and it makes much more sense now. Keep up the great work!

Thank you, very helpful. I'm studying web development within .NET and we had to use regular expressions in one assignment. I had problems understanding how they work, and your video has been of immense use to me. The railroad diagrams are especially useful, make it so much easier to understand the logic of the regular expression being examined.

@PeterPanicker 5 лет назад
