I fucking hate regex. But this might help:

[nop_90]

nice a whole bunch of sheets there

[perkiset]

Vurrah nice

I have used these sheets a few times over the last year.

  I have copies pined up on the wall...

i rarely do that much code and I have them filed within reach under "cheat sheets"

I never realized the power of regexp until I made a filter in google analytics using their cheat sheet:

for me, the epiphany of regex was when scraping data from live sites. i love it, not only for the power, but for the challenge of being able to pull patterns out of even the noisiest of data.

I know how you feel nuts, couldn't agree more. Finding patterns where there appear to be none.... luv it.

I was always hesitant to work with regexs because they looked ugly until I got into Apache configuration... then I got hooked. And when you add backreferences and the preg_replace_all sort of functions in PHP they're just monsterously cool

/p

Yeah, they take a lot of stuff to the next level and, in my opinion, seperate the men from the boys 

There are things you can do with a good regex that would just involve a ridiculous amount of code otherwise.
