Print This PostNo, this isn’t about what Tolii and Tosha say to us every evening after being told its bath time!
Instead, its a post to refer you to this excellent tutorial on the computer kind of “regular expressions”, a way of expressing to a computer what to search for.
For example, here’s how to search for an email address using a regular expression:
\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b
- It describes a series of letters, digits, dots, underscores, percentage signs and hyphens, …
- followed by an at sign, …
- followed by another series of letters, digits and hyphens, ..
- finally followed by a single dot and between two and four letters
- e.g. “Info@ABC-Corp.com”
