What Hacker News says

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.
In Show HN: Improve your Python regex skills with 75 interactive exercises
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...
