Can we have some fun with regex?
gets
[code]
(\d)\1+$
[\code]
gets++
[code]
(\d+)\1+$
[\code]
I wrote these to find gets. I have one for the traditional ones like dubs, trips, quads, quints, etc. I also have one expanded for sequences like 123123. The expanded one can't do something like 112233 though. I think 123456 is also a pretty special get. Could we have an expression to get all of these without using OR?

Dang. I think the slashes in my regex messed up the code format.

Real niggers use PEGs or parser combinators not this pleb shit.
in what world would a thread about regex be fun?
Here's the RFC standard for email filtering
\A(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*
| "(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d-\x7f]
| \\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*")
@ (?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?
| \[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}
(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:
(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]
| \\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)
\])\z
I doubt it fully works. A full RFC 822 regex-based parser is nearly impossible. Everyone that claims to have one winds up failing on some valid input.
this.
even my autism isn't autist enought to find regex funny
^(?=.{4,30}$)(?![_.])(?!.*[_.]{2})[a-zA-Z0-9._]+(?
This is supposed to check username (contextual stackoverflow answer in duckduckgo). It fails hard and doesn't allow all alphabets, like öä
I think I got the right one:
fuck you ghostbin.com

AFAIK I've seen that one before and it doesn't handle nested comments (legal RFC 822 syntax). Email address parsing is a great example of why regexes are shit for parsing.
It's a highly expressive and specialized language. That's the tradeoff it makes.
The alternative would be having some monster like
startLine(), repeat(any('a','b','c'),0,infinity), endLine() for doing what could be done with ^[abc]*$
[/code], not [\code].
RegEx is really useful, claims by a linux a/s/g user here. Though it looks confusing when it's bloated enough since there's no extra characters allowed in regex, but it can deal nearly any types of text processing.
Oops.

I can't believe I made such a shitty OP. I forgot reduce my image size too.
Since you guys like regex so much, I might come back later with some finite automata, and we can practice translating them to grammars and regex. I can't right now though.
Oh, I'm not saying I don't like it.
It's just blowing my mind.
I didn't know something like this even existed until this thread.
fun way to learn regex

or you could try regex golf but it's a bit shit
Actually, that looks pretty nice. It would be cool to have a program that can generate a regex from a more human-readable language. I think LISP S-expressions would work pretty well for this. Well, now I have an idea for what to do when I'm further into SICP.
I tried making a regex generator for normies, but it's more difficult that I expected.
What are grok patterns?
Fun challenge: Make an XML parser in Regex.

would do again
Best regex meme.
Also ITT: kripplecice fix ur shit
Nice snipe hunt. The reason why regular expressions can't parse XML is in the name. I've worked on a pushdown automata for parsing JSON and XML before.
