no one should have to write regular expressions to lint their diary, it's just wrong.

[foone@digipres.club]

the python re module is the one I have the most trouble remembering. it's not the regular expression's fault, either! it's just the design of the module itself.

I can never remember if it's re.find or re.search

(it's re.search, but re.findall)

@foone That's the thing that always put me off learning python, more than the idiotic whitespace/indentation shit: that regexps aren't built-in operators. The whole idea of designing a scripting/very high level language tha way makes my skin crawl.

This is OBVIOUSLY a job for awk or perl or maybe even raku.
