RegexPal VS The Regulator

• For those who work with regex often, what are some of the approaches you found to learn regex effectively?

  BUT - As far as resources for building out the regex patterns, I use regexpal.com and a copy of this https://cheatography.com/davechild/cheat-sheets/regular-expressions/pdf/ printed out beside me. Once you get into it, the power of subgroups, and lookahead/behind processing beats some of the mental gymnastics you would need to go to code it out in your language of choice.

• Is regex used a lot in Web dev?

  Spend an afternoon really diving into it, bookmark regexpal.com, and call it a day IMO. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Side-by-side photos shown in court prove Amber Heard edited a photo to appear like she had injuries to her face. Both photos are pixel-perfectly the same.

  i’m a professional developer and I just relearn it every time I need it, which is about once or twice a year, but depending on someone’s specialty they may swim around in it all day. It can get really complicated. https://regexpal.com is where I kick it around testing until it works. Source: almost 2 years ago
