I do, however write a mean regular expression

It can't be meaner than what my former pal and mentor wrote and could not understand immediately after he wrote it, but when he did (understand it) he could not explain it understandably to anyone, and which regular expression despite or perhaps because of it all worked!

You know what, Revolting Cat?
After reading through this thread, I believe I now know how my dog feels when the little woman and I are going over a grocery list!
So I’m going to dream about chasing rabbits now.

Regex is one of those things everyone hates, but nobody has ever found anything better to replace it with.

Somebody asked me once if regex was left-brain or right-brain. I told them writing them is right-brain and reading them is left-brain.
