Thanks Buck,
As I use regular expressions quite infrequently I asked ChatGPT to explain
it.
In my opinion, Large Language Models like ChatGPT are very good if you
want to see a few pages of 'Moby Dick' written in the style of a David
Letterman Top Ten List. Not so good with anything else - primarily
because they are designed with the explicit intention to invent,
generate, create things out of whole cloth. This means one needs to
verify 100% of the output with a known reliable source.
For regexes, try a web page like
https://regex101.com/
More than an explainer, sites like this let one quickly test various
ideas against a test string that can be pasted in from one's own data set.
Would you agree with the description ?
Yes, this is one way to explain this particular regex.
