The best way to get better at regexes is to use them - practice, practice, practice! So what's the best way to give yourself the opportunity to practice?
Here are some ideas:
Use a text editor that supports making changes using regexes, for instance
vimored. By forcing yourself to use regexes for all text changes you get the basics down pretty quickly.Use tools like
sedandgrepon the command line at every opportunity. Both are driven by regexes.The cost of this approach is that you will suffer an initial hit on productivity. But it will pay off on the end.
sedandgrepare fantastic tools! 100% recommended!It is a great one stop shop for regex....thank you for making the effort.

Great article. I'd have liked the answers to be visible in the post itself, rather than as outbound links. Suggestion for next time maybe :D
what about this for step 18 last problem
/(?! )([1-9][0-9]{0,}.[0-9]{1,})(?!%)/gm
is there a good website to practice the RegEx from neutral point of view not programming language as I am not a programmer but sometimes I need RegEx to look into log files and filter them
Firstly, thanks for this nice article. However, in step 6 pop quiz, the answer for years between 1977-1982 is wrong. Because it also matches with 1987, etc.
