RegEx Buddy as a learning aid
15 months ago
For a long time, nearly 8 years now, I’ve known of and wanted to learn regular expressions. For about 6.5 of those years I couldn’t wrap my head around them. Then I got a job where I have to write some intermediate regexes nearly every day using Perl.
At first I really struggled even though I had plenty of examples and material to learn on. Then I discovered RegEx Buddy and I started to grok RegExes.
I can’t say that I’m a guru now but I can do most of what I need to now and I’d attribute most of it to the breakthroughs I’ve had using this simple tool.
