Regex is one of those things I will never know by heart. I read about it whenever I need it, I understand it and I forget how it works immediately after I use it. And the cycle continues :).
But doesn't it feel awesome, once you constructed a working regex pattern for one special use case? One were you even started to understand "positive/negative lookbehind/ahead" and that stuff? Sure, once it's working that knowledge is gone... unless you write this cat language every day :D

"Cat language". I like that. And yes, I agree, RegEx is like array methods in Javascript, you think you know it but you always need to Google it :D.
