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.

I’m half way through the Intermediate puzzles and have already re-learned a couple of regex tricks I’d forgotten. Handy.
