Après quelques recherches j'ai compris qu'il pouvait y avoir un certains défis à réintroduire les #regex sur #mastodon que ce soit par la complexité d'utilisation ou le ralentissement les services avec possible faille #DDOS le risque est le taille.

Personnellement, j'aurais bien aimé avec a profiter des nombreux avantages qui en découle malgré tout. Et j'ai cru comprendre qui que beaucoup de #moderation en aurait apprécié l'efficacité.

My recent obsession with the #OscarMamen travel logs of his journey(s) to & time in #Mongolia #BogdKhanate, I wrangled data from a photo archive database.
For unknown reasons, the database doesn't have a field for "date". All date info is stored alongside content descriptions of the photos and their location in the physical archive in the free-text field "motive description".
To work through 7.500 photos + matching them to log entries, I re-taught myself #regex & @OpenRefine
Can recommend!

I still can't believe that most programming systems we use today are preoccupied with numbers. AFAIK, half of (R5RS?) #Scheme standard is numbers and operations on them. Same for #C, #CommonLisp, #Java—ten different types of numbers and huge libraries for them.

Humans think in images and words. Structured text-oriented languages feel like a much better fit for everyone not corrupted by C. Yet we have little to no popular attempts in that space. Structured Regular Expressions didn't catch up; #ed1 and #awk are considered mere #regex automation tools. Modal and the term rewriting systems have their Merveilles Town, but not much beyond. sh/#bash and the like are quite successful, but aren't considered real programming languages either.

Why.

Do I have #regex experts among my followers: echo "123.4506000" | sed -E 's/(\.[0-9]*[1-9])?0+$//; s/\.$//' is intended to remove trailing 0s when its a number with a decimal point. But when there are no cifers behind the decimal point other than 0s, the whole number shall be stripped of the point and the 0s. What are I am doing wrong? Sharing appreciated.

Arrivée ici début 2025, big up aux @admin de Piaille.fr ! #introduction :
Tombée dans la marmite #OpenSource en 2000, je me nourris de commandes #bash. Fichiers texte, #grep et ses jolies #regex, #ansible, #git, #greasemonkey, les tests auto et la supervision sont tes amis.
Cordes frottées, grattées et frappées, sons soufflés, chantés ou beatboxés, sons électro ou scratchés me touchent. Rien de tel qu'une bonne soirée à jammer / à enregistrer pour un beatmaker / à débarquer sur scène pour accompagner quand il manque un instrumentiste / à repiquer des morceaux entiers sur papier à l'ancienne / à improviser avec les enfants

Im trying to provide aliases for #regex definitions so that humans would be able to understand things better scanning my coding.

However, an identifier as terse as `/[^\s\t_-\/\.=<>:]+/` becomes hideously long to describe in english descriptors.

Is there a midpoint reference or shorthand that could serve as a compromise?

I may just provide a vague numbered reference as a hack - but this obviously is ineligent and a recipe for bugs (should I label something else with the same nomenclature)

Perl is not my favourite language, but I admit that its #regex syntax did a tonne of good for #programming.

We need a similar boost to the #bit twiddling syntax. I like the sensibility of C and Erlang bit-manipulation syntax.

Also, we geeks need to agree on how we clean up that politically induced mess that is the #timezone.

Hey, does anyone have recent experience with trying to get an LLM to make regexes for you? Does it work? I hate doing them but I suspect that's an area where I'd still need to be an expert to see that it isn't working.

Mal tief im Gehirn kramen, wie war das mit Regular Expressions? Finde alle "Seite [num]" in einem Text und ersetze sie durch <a href="base/[num]">Seite [num]</a>. Ob ich mal ChatGPT frage? #regex

My PhD student was still feeling uncomfortable with #regex, so I searched and found these awesome regex games that can help you improve your regex-fu and help you have some fun during your daily commute:

Ich bin mitten in den Vorbereitungen für meinen #clt2025 Vortrag über #regex. Kleiner Spoiler: Es wird (wieder) ein Cheatsheet geben.

And old, powerful, and mysterious language...

#python #pandas #regex
Ein großer Fallstrick für mich, sind die unterschiedlichen Rückgabewerte.
pandas lässt recht einfach auf den gesuchten Regex als Rückgabewert zugreifen, bei python zusammen mit re braucht es eine extra Schleife, wenn man den Regex als Rückgabewert will.
Der Kleinkram macht immer den Unerschied!

Today was another day where I'm glad that I know the the cat-walks-on-keyboard patterns of #regex for searching and analysing thousands of rows in a textfile.
