In years of being a developer I never really spent the time to learn regular expressions. It always seemed like a hard nut to crack.
I used to spend so much time trying to find regular expressions for my use case.
now you have two problems
Enter iHateRegex.io
I made a simple tool that will explain to you commonly used regular expressions work.
It is a simple tool that will show a visual graph as well as matches and highlighting for code.
Hope you like the tool :D
