Cool post! I feel there's a lot of experienced programmers browsing HNews. For someone who has never dabbled with Regex and only basic Python, is this something for complete beginners? Or is it more advanced tricks/catches?
- asicsp 5y agoMy book (https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions) is for complete newbies to regex, provided they know the basics of Python. At the end of each chapter, there are exercises to test your understanding of concepts presented until that chapter. These interactive exercises cover about 70% of the exercises from the book, meant for beginner to intermediate level programmers. There are a few tricky exercises, but overall the idea is to help you get comfortable with regex syntax and features.
