Why I like Zen Spider

by wck — 2 years ago

I have a printout of a perl regex on my wall at work that Ryan wrote. It’s a regex to recognize a perl style regex, and he used m// as the delimeters. It looks like a pattern, not code. Here is one piece of it:

\\/(\\\\\\/|[^\\/])+?\\/

And he taught me perl years ago so that I could read hairy regexen.

OMG you still have that?? Um… I could really use that regex honestly. I’ve made a stab at doing it again and failed out on it.
