📝 A compilation of Regex syntax and resources for the Google DSC Regex Event

Watch a recording of the Regex presentation here!

Regex, or regular expressions, are patterns used to match strings. Regex is commonly used for searching/filtering strings for information, input validation, and web scraping. "Real-world" examples include everything from validating email addresses to formatting class names in a grades app.

Regex is incredibly powerful, but due to its seemingly unintelligible nature, it's also often intimidating to learn and difficult to remember.

For that reason, I've compiled a selection of the most helpful and commonly used regex syntax and some regex resources for your use below!

The lab file in this repo contains real-world practice problems and links to gamified resources for the DSC event. You are welcome to try your hand at some of them.

The Redoku folder of this repo contains the app "Redoku," a simple React Native application created for this event that allows you to hone your Regex skills through sudoku-like puzzles. This was heavily based on redoku, an awesome website with the same name. Thank you to @padolsey for granting permission to use the name "Redoku!" Download it below!
