That's my relation with regex.

I’ve heard this a few times. I’m the opposite, I think I learned it once and never forgot it, it seems impossible. Do you understand regex in terms of a state machine? Draw it out. It’s a very simple language.

Its the syntax, not the idea that I forget. I use it rarely which is why I have to relearn from some cheat sheet what each symbol means.
