I hate RegEx

[KMatle]

Working on a project with an external company at work. They used RegEx to validate some XML fields. Guess what didn't work ?

PS: I usually search for an example via Google and copy/paste it ?

Maybe I am weird, but I truly love regex. I sometimes makes regex for fun, just like some people likes to solve sudokus and crosswords

Regex is a kind of "write only" language. It is so easy (for me at least) to create a complex regex, but it takes much more effort to read the same regex after some time. Therefore I sometimes use comments in regex which is possible with the extended syntax.

have a look at this guy and maybe your opinion will change

I have not seen his regex video (and don't need it) but I have seen other videos from him and he is brilliant.
