I am so glad that this started off with REGEX.

So many coding lessons are so irrelevant to business / law people. No, business people don't need to really learn how to code. They want to learn how to parse / clean messy spreadsheet data.

REGEX + basic loops and conditional in VBA will do wonders to the productivity of business people.

On a separate note, I am surprized that there is still no good graphical way to build regexes
