- priyadarshy 13y agoThanks for not just referencing XKCD comics and actually providing an answer. There seems to be a bias against regular expressions because they've developed a "dubious" standing amongst programmers. I've used Regex quite a bit doing NLP would love to know more about their use in other fields.
