BUT – As far as resources for building out the regex patterns, I use regexpal.com and a copy of this https://cheatography.com/davechild/cheat-sheets/regular-expressions/pdf/ printed out beside me. Once you get into it, the power of subgroups, and lookahead/behind processing beats some of the mental gymnastics you would need to go to code it out in your language of choice.

Spend an afternoon really diving into it, bookmark regexpal.com, and call it a day IMO.

i’m a professional developer and I just relearn it every time I need it, which is about once or twice a year, but depending on someone’s specialty they may swim around in it all day. It can get really complicated. https://regexpal.com is where I kick it around testing until it works.
