Over the years I've been teaching people about Regular Expressions, I've learnt what does and doesn't work in such tuition. A casual question I saw yesterday got me writing, and I've just posted up a new technical article to the solution centre - see here (it will open in a separate window).

It's amazing - truly amazing - how often there's a code requirement to say "does this look like that" and that's exactly what regular expressions do. In fact, I added an extra markup facility to the solution centre as I was writing the article as I wanted an extra way to emphasise and - guess what - the methodolgy I used was a regular expression!

There are full tables of Regular Expression elements on our web site too - see here as a starter, and we even offer regular expression mousemats for sale at, of course, a very reasonable cost!
