@stux This howto also applies to microwave oven control panels

@stux Meanwhile me: This regex is invalid, lacks at least ])/ at the end.

@stux see also: how to PERL

@stux The terminal phase of being a programmer is when you start wondering why everyone thinks regexes are hard to read and write.

That's how you know it's too late.

@stux That's clearly a guide to writing perl (:

@stux 😂

@stux this can explain something I've seen recently:

@stux
laser works too

@stux this works with a puppy as well. But if course, the input needs to be different, instead of a fish, you hang on a piece of salami

@stux So true

@stux especially emacs regexps written inside strings, for example https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/net/tramp-sh.el#n1095

@stux accurate 😉

@stux works for perl too.
