Thank you !!

God bless u

Tyvm just a small fix: non capture groups would look like this (?: ...)

@@hansgerber8654 thanks, fixed!

Hi Brad 😊 You are my master. Your tutorials are really so easy to understand. Each of your videos has a lot of things to learn and quite easy to learn. The key is, listen carefully and code alog with Brad, you will become the master of whatever Brad is teaching.

Thank you so much! I checked out your video just a little bit ago and loved the list you created. There were so many good creators on there and hearing New Boston on the list brought back all my memories of first learning web development from his channel. I also want to give a huge thanks to your for your channel. I have learned a ton from you and your channel was one of my biggest inspirations for starting my own channel.

Two of my best programming Tutor on KZfaq

Subbed just for this comment. Now I will actually start the video

Whoa, Brad Traversy in the comments!?!??? In the words of Nicolas Cage, "That's high praise."

Same with me bro.

@@serpenteve b'coz of lots of tried, u had already understood, here u furnished ur knowledge.

😂😂😂

@@dubletar7351 So very true.

😂😂 correct

And that's how RegEx was created.

your teacher can explain it like this... ...by play this video in class lol

@@dedoyxp honestly they should just do that if they cant explain it better look for a video that does

But also performance test it too, because as they get more advanced, there are many ways to get to the same result, not all of them very performant. Also, not everything has to be done using regex, if it is simple search, use a loop instead of regex, it is almost always more performant.

This is so true. 2 months ago i learned regex a bit , but now i dont even know how to validate a phone number. I Copy pasted email validation somewhere and boom. Done. I think its more important to know what regex can do and knowing when to use it. Not actually how to write that code. Thats my opinion cause if ur not using it regularly then u will forget about it in 2 weeks.

that's why they call em regular expressions. cuz you need to be using them regularly to understand them.

@@lauris5275 now imagine you are asked that in an interview while you state you are familiar with regex on your resume

Jeffrey Friedl's Mastering Regular Expressions is the de-facto user manual for regular expressions (and an impressively written book besides). Give that a try if you really want to understand RE and how they work.

Honestly I've never found an easy to understand piece of coding documentation before

@@GregoryEsman same, i think that's why people are paying for courses etc.

@ronald seawell Try saying that to colleges. They'll beat your ass.

@@braindeveloperdimensional5579 😂😂

WOW!!!!

loool

@Chris Walker So true 😭😭😂

ROFL

No kidding!

That's actually really good to know that this takes time for everyone! I've been stressing out that I don't know this well enough.

Thank you!

Then you are an idiot for not taking notes.

@@braindeveloperdimensional5579 I like this comment. But why you need notes, when you have google xD ?

@@arnoldasdrapanauskis5924 oh really? And tell me you don't get distracted Everytime you open your phone.

@@braindeveloperdimensional5579 Have you heard of this newfangled thing called "joking"?

@@braindeveloperdimensional5579 Well, yes I do. Distractions everywhere. But i use PC when programming, not phone ;)

Thank you!

the videos on ur channel are nice and pleasing :) 👍👍

So powerful that it took thousands of computers down all over the world, from air lines to banks to hospitals :)

Lol

Yoooo 😂

Thanks to you, I never learnt Regex

thank you kind sir

I almost always use regexr.com when I am working on a complex regular expression, since it makes testing so easy.

@@WebDevSimplified yep

I found this helpful kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMyBebh7zbbVfYE.html and freeCodeCamp regex curriculum.

"get confused when you revisit" is the sad but true moment when using regex LOL

That's why you simply put a comment above the RegEx explaining what it does. It's much easier to understand something if you know what its overall purpose is. If you really need to, you could also explain each individual portion of the RegEx, but that's often unnecessary.

@@gtc4189 sure we do make comments... but when your code needs comments to explain it self (especially a single line of a weirdo regex) then there is something wrong with it. and whoever came up with the RegEx syntax must have been a stuborn mathimatician or similar and not thinking the user-friendly aspect of the syntax... which is almost non existent! 😂🙄

​@@johnnyxp64 That's not always true friend, RegEx's, especially super specific and complicated ones, can sometimes span hundreds of characters of length. Take this email regex for example: `(?:[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])?|\[(?:(?:(2(5[0-5]|[0-4][0-9])|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9]))\.){3}(?:(2(5[0-5]|[0-4][0-9])|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)\])`. It can also get even worse! Especially when it comes to validating email addresses to an insanely specific extent, check THIS one out! www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/Mail-RFC822-Address.html 😂😂😂😂😂

@@gtc4189 so what I said is True! their syntax is terrible and you have to be a cryptographic machine to read that without any tool!🤯🤯🤯🤯

You are very welcome! Thank you for the support!

Indeed. Regex only works with ascii text and not unicode unless specified manually in hex.

Most programming languages let you add comments along side your regexs. It's good to write a comment on what each part does.
