RegEx

It’s power and complex.

I was gonna write a blog post, but I got sucked into learning regex for hours… and I’m still baffled at the syntax…

Ugh man… I’ll eventually get the results I want, just a matter of time…

Interesting how to get everything but a set string.

Don’t forget it’s sometimes OK to be Greedy and Lazy.

It amazes me how much time I’ve spent reading up on regex… I knew it was powerful… but man…
