I used to hate regex because it was hard to get my head around but over time, I got better at it. Now I can get by with basic regular expressions and if you’re struggling too, this video might help.
Your friendly neighbourhood Engineer Man made a video called Regular Expressions – Enough to be Dangerous which shows enough regex to be dangerous.
