Everything I Don’t Know About Regular Expressions…
…could fill a book.
No. Really. And it’s a big book too.
It’s true. While I have a basic grasp of regular expressions and can repurpose/edit other people’s more complicated ones to fit my needs, I’m actually pretty crap at writing anything beyond the most basic on my own. Being an irrepressible geek, that’s kind of embarrassing. I’m a code nerd. I should know this stuff.
What am I going to do about it? I’m not going to buy tha book, I know that for certain 
My reading list is already too long and that’s one big-ass book.
What I’m going to do instead is practice, practice, practice and write up my results here for all the world to see (and hopefully critique?) Lord knows when this will actually happen as this April is the busiest month of my life, but it’s coming at some point. There are just too many times where I have this nagging suspicion that, were I just a regexp ninja, I could do something really fancy/efficient/wizardlike.
