Jorsh Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I love the site and refer 5 to 10 people per week to learn about HTML and CSS.One addition that I think would benefit many folks is a regex tutorial. I think with TryIt, W3Schools could be the premier site for learning about regular expressions.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 What do you mean by "regular expressions"? Some kind of info? Anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulpfiction Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I guess jorsh wants somthing like in these sites...http://www.regular-expressions.info/http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/regex/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorsh Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Yeah, regular expressions are great for validating form input on web forms.^(\d{5}$|\d{5}-\d{4}$ would only match input that is in valid US zip code format.^[a-zA-Z][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]@[a-zA-Z0-9][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]*[a-zA-Z]$ could be used to validate that the user entered in a correctly formated email address.There are many sites on the Internet devoted to regular expressions, I just think it'd be a great addition to this site.

scott100 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Yes this could be useful, it could include:a list of all the charactersa short description on there purposea short example of how the character is usedIn javascript for example:Character = ^Purpose = maches only from the beginning of a lineExample1 = /^c/ matches c in cornExample2 = /^c/ does not match c in acornthen go onto more complicated examples, like validating an email address etc.Thumbs up (only one thing, i don't think it would be considered a high priority) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate570 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I agree completely. Regex is one thing I've always wanted to learn, as it's come up many times during my work with JavaScript. But like Scott said, I think that Kaijim and his associates are slightly busy right now, so it might take a while for the tutorial to even be started. But still, great idea.
