I was really expecting an article about parsing HTML when he said right at the beginning: >> You cannot parse HTML with regular expressions, because HTML isn’t regular. Use an XML parser instead. > This statement - in the context of the question - is somewhere between very misleading and outright wrong. But nope, after disappointment and going back to the beginning, he says he's not talking about HTML: > What I’ll try to demonstrate in this article is how powerful modern regular expressions really are. And not even a warning about how easy it is to make really terrible regex. |
