py_regular_expressions

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. There are more than 100 exercises covering both the builtin `re` module and the third-party `regex` module. 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). See [2] for a video demo. I'd appreciate your feedback, happy learning :) [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29391107 [1] https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions [2] https://youtu.be/0oXPeF8HutQ

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/

My book (https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions) is for complete newbies to regex, provided they know the basics of Python. At the end of each chapter, there are exercises to test your understanding of concepts presented until that chapter. These interactive exercises cover about 70% of the exercises from the book, meant for beginner to intermediate level programmers. There are a few tricky exercises, but overall the idea is to help you get comfortable with regex syntax and features.

Hello! I wrote a GUI app written in `tkinter` to help you practice Python regular expressions. Total 75 questions on `re.search`, `re.sub`, `re.split` and `re.findall` that'll test your understanding of anchors, alternation, grouping, escaping metacharacters, dot metacharacter, quantifiers, character class, grouping, lookarounds, flags, etc. These exercise questions have been adapted from my "Python re(gex)?" ebook (free to read online [0]). See Exercises.md [1] for all the exercise questions from this book. I'd appreciate your feedback :) [0] https://learnbyexample.github.io/py_regular_expressions/ [1] https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions/blo...

As a self-published author, most of my work is directly related to my books. Currently working on a Python GUI for regex practice [0]. Most of the features are done, have to change/add questions. Also, started a newsletter focused on programming resources yesterday [1] [0] https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions/tre...

I'm currently working on a GUI app to help progammers practice Python regular expressions [0]. I don't have much experience with GUI, but I've made a start. I know it won't be pleasing to the eye, but I hope it will have the features I wish to implement. [0] https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions/tre...

Thank you for sharing your work! It looks quite wide-ranging and in depth.

Railroad diagrams may help. I use a three step approach to present one example of recursion, which includes showing the difference between two-level nesting vs recursive version [1]. This is the railroad visualization for two-level [2]. [1] https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions/blo... [2] https://www.debuggex.com/r/SMLRfiyt0Ag2hXu5

My book titled "Python re(gex)?" is free to download through this weekend [1][2] The book covers both 're' and 'regex' modules, has plenty of examples and chapters also have cheatsheets and exercises. Code snippets, exercises, sample chapters, etc are available on GitHub repo [3] I used pandoc+xelatex [4] to generate the pdf.
