#regex is one of those things for which I never really took the time to properly understand it. I've always found myself to resort to applying and tweaking existing examples. You know, the programming-as-stackoverflow-searches-approach.
Yesterday's 3 hour rabbit hole trying to get things working without having a good grasp reminded me once again of the folly of that approach. Any good sources you could recommend for learning about regular expressions?
ha, so it seems the experimental method using a repl is the one which is most used. So what I was doing seems pretty sensible. However, thanks for the links to books etc. I think the experimental method will fare better with some more in-depth background knowledge!
