Regex HACK #vscode #code #programming

[KG-idhk]

I need an extension to help me write a regex 😂 so hard to memorise

[mattmaloney]

So the hack is to install an extension that does what or says it does.

Parsing HTML with regex, nice! Hope this doesn't unleash horrors!

[skipodap]

This is great! Checking in some automated unit tests for the regex is helpful too

[SReaperz]

or just goto a website like regex101 and -paste test strings + pattern there? it takes about the same amount of effort and you even get reference + explanation of your pattern there? this seems pretty useless

ofc if you just want to parse html just using a library like beautiful soup is probably better if you don't want to write a parser properly

Every VSCode tutorial ever: Want to do X? First download this extension💀😂

This content is gold! Keep up the good work.

You could just hit ctrl f in regex mode.

You can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML.

[Dylan_thebrand_slayer_Mulveiny]

Please do NOT use regex's to parse HTML. It's not safe. It's not reliable. And some poor dev will have to deal with your bullshit code when you inevitably get fired for being a shitty dev.

even harder to not mix up with Redis, Redux, Remix, And Remux

I let chatgpt write my regex. I cannot be bothered learning this stuff.

✅ Regular expressions
❌ Regex
✅ Rejex

[elatedbento]

you built the best code editor to date. now you just need to make it fast.

[Draghful]

Whenever I have to write RegEx, I just smash my fist on my keyboard for 2 to 3 times and then I simply just accept the result of it.

[DavidCAdams]

Tell me you were never a Perl developer without telling me you were never a Perl developer.

[hariprasath]

need definitoin on vscode like sublime text editor

[KevinGeller]

Did this the last 15 years with regex buddy. Good bye my old friend

[TheTigerus]

If you ever think it's a good idea to use regex, rewrite your code.
