The Regex phrase of death
"Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I'll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems. " -Jamie Zawinski, in comp.lang.emacs
I swear, if one more person sends me an email, SMS message or MSN IM message quoting this phrase, I will personally choke someone to death. Been there, read that,
move on people. That's
exactly
what tools like
The Regulator and
Expresso are trying to solve, so
get off my back.
Yes, Regex is not for everyone and for everything. So is XML, duh.
