a regex would be easier

2017-02-10 22:15:25 UTC  

ok

Regex is just a bunch of hieroglyphics I cant read

2017-02-10 22:15:31 UTC  

I do not know what that is?

2017-02-10 22:15:33 UTC  

Black magic

2017-02-10 22:15:55 UTC  

I really need to find a guide or something so I can learn it though.

2017-02-10 22:15:57 UTC  

Never hurts.

2017-02-10 22:16:15 UTC  

Also, regex stands for regular expressions, and it's used for lots of text things

2017-02-10 22:16:31 UTC  

Search patterns

2017-02-10 22:16:40 UTC

But I've done mind numbing work like that. For one of the commands I put in, I manually replaced every hiragana and katakana with their romanji counterparts.

2017-02-10 22:17:46 UTC  

well, it would fit the case where you search for the pattern of gnu and linux

2017-02-10 22:18:08 UTC  

But regex is the way to go.

2017-02-10 22:18:37 UTC  

yeah simple search & replace like that are easy

2017-02-10 22:18:49 UTC  

Yup, just mind numbing

2017-02-10 22:18:53 UTC  

Lots of copy-paste

2017-02-10 22:19:08 UTC  

Like, this is for the hiragana

2017-02-10 22:19:09 UTC  
2017-02-10 22:20:39 UTC  

it's not really hard btw @Gsurus https://regex101.com/r/g7hxnj/1

2017-02-10 22:21:42 UTC  

Yeah, I just have no idea what the characters you input mean/do

2017-02-10 22:21:49 UTC  

I just need to look at a tutorial

2017-02-10 22:22:06 UTC  

it's just `/gnu.*linux/gi`

2017-02-10 22:22:19 UTC  

. means every character except \n

2017-02-10 22:22:30 UTC  

* means 0 or an infinite of them

2017-02-10 22:22:33 UTC
