this is fun but sometimes i feel like the only choice is hamfisted.
for example, using 17 characters:
Match Don't Match
pob0 gm1
Y0GH Chf4
Dhtg 5O
the only solution i could come up with was ^[pYD]\w+
can Sup Forums do better?
will post more as i get to them if there is interest

do you not know what the game/I am asking you to do?
what "regex" is
regular expression.
it says in the image.
yes but you can explain what is ^[pYD]\w+ mean?
>can explain what is ^[pYD]\w+
okay.
>^
beginning of the string
>[pYD]
match any of the characters within the brackets
>\w
match any number, letter, or underscore
>+
match the previous one or more times
You're a very patient man
does someone have a regex matching game but only for lex/flex? gotta exercise on that
^(pob0|Y0GH|Dhtg)$
>17 characters
Why would you not just use ^[pYD].*[0Hg]? It's more readable.
why would i do that?
Because it's a more straightforward answer.
how is that a more straightforward answer?
I just use this whenever I need to

You take the first and last characters, then match everything between them. Add a $ at the end of the expression maybe.
What OP posted doesn't even work.
> not just running
$ echo "test1
> test2
> test3" | grep "expression"
>You take the first and last characters, then match everything between them
but that's not what i wanted to do. i just wanted to get the 3 i was supposed to.
>What OP posted doesn't even work
yes it does.

I mean if you have a regex like that I'd just do a "only 4 characters" one.
Unsure if syntax is correct but you can save like three characters like this
[^mf5]
works on my machine.
maybe add a * idk
Why should any non-autistic person care about this?
