Debuggex.com is a great tool for visualizing how a regex will execute character-by-character and testing it against a variety of inputs. Source: over 1 year ago
Combine that with Debuggex and you're a god at the game )). Source: about 2 years ago
My trick with understanding regexes, is not actually trying to understand them by looking at the text form. Instead copy paste them in a visualliser, like debuggex.com. This makes them sooo much easier to understand. Once you do that with this one (and also read the PR description), you'll realize it actually isn't that crazy complex. Source: over 2 years ago
Debuggex.com is also great, as you get a graphical preview of what the regex is actually doing. Source: over 2 years ago
I use https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html to index and search large repos of docs. I use Papermerge for my digital file cabinet though. DocFetcher is good for searching an existing repository of files. Source: about 1 year ago
As they state, it is crap-free, free forever, cross-platform, portable, private (local only), and indexes only what you need. You can also set minimum and maximum file sizes to index. See https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html. Source: over 1 year ago
What I'd recommend is setting up a digital and/or physical technical library. Download any useful documents, books, standards etc. and store them in a clear, concise folder structure. Then create an index of the library with a tool like DocFetcher. (Think of it as Google for your technical library) This should make it fast and easy to find the relevant information when you need it. Source: over 1 year ago

I use Outlook for e-mail and calendars. I use Evernote to store my notes. I also have a folder in Dropbox called "docs" where I store TXT (and others like DOCX and PDF etc) files for tasks/projects like the cisco firmware update example. I use DocFetcher (https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html) to perform search on the stored notes in TXT / DOCX / PDF / etc. Source: over 1 year ago
