py_regular_expressions VS awesome-regex

These exercises have been adapted from my Understanding Python re(gex)? ebook (free to read online).

This new version is a TUI app built with Textual. Previous one was written using `tkinter` [0] and covered only four of the `re` functions.

Now, any valid Python expression is accepted as a solution. Both the builtin `re` and third-party `regex` modules are covered.

These exercises have been adapted from my Understanding Python re(gex)? ebook [1] (free to read online, and PDF/EPUB versions are free till the end of this month).

I'd appreciate your feedback, happy learning :)

Last year, I did a similar project for 75 Python regular expressions exercises: https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions/tre...

That was with Tkinter. I'm planning to update the regex book next year (to add new features like possessive quantifiers and other misc changes). Along with this update, I'll probably make a TUI version and add support for rest of the exercises.

If you are interested in Python regex, here's my tkinter app with 75 interactive exercises: https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions/tre...

This assumes you already know Python regex. If you'd like learn first, see my free ebook: https://learnbyexample.github.io/py_regular_expressions/

I have an entire book dedicated for learning regex from the basics, with hundreds of examples and exercises. I cover both re and third-party regex module. It is free to read online: https://learnbyexample.github.io/py_regular_expressions/

Sites like regex101 are definitely useful for learning/debugging purposes. But I'd suggest to also read tutorial/book for the specific tool/programming language you are using. You'll build a better understanding that way. See https://github.com/aloisdg/awesome-regex for some resources and collection of other useful tools.

Tasks like matching phone numbers, ip addresses, dates, etc are so common that you can often find them collected as a library. This chapter shows some examples for CommonRegexRuby. See also Awesome Regex: Collections.
