I have never really been comfortable with regular expressions. While I can look at code in a programming language I have little or no experience with and understand what it is trying to accomplish, regular expressions has never been that way for me. Usually, there is a lot of guess work and trial and error to figure out how to get things to sorta-kinda work, but rarely any confidence in it. With some freelance work I've been doing recently, regular expressions have become a necessity in a few cases.
