This is really awesome and pretty challenging for me as a non-frequent user of Regex.
I learned almost everything I know about regex through these puzzles.
If I knew that it hadn’t already been BB’d, I’d have thrown it into the suggestion pile.
Super! That’s clever.
I’m half way through the Intermediate puzzles and have already re-learned a couple of regex tricks I’d forgotten. Handy.
Oh man I am really shocked that this hasn’t been on BoingBoing before.
Ah but which dialect of regex is it?
Ah… Javascript’s.
Always preferred the Perl syntax but the Python parser, myself. Next, let’s talk about macro pre-processors… m4 anyone?
