Regular expressions are a powerful means of searching for complicated text patterns. A simple find operation can select all instances of the phrase “9 cats” in a text, but regular expressions allow a person to select all instances of “cats” preceded by any number, and only in cases where “cats” is followed by a comma, a semi-colon, or a period.
Come for a “brief bite” on how to start constructing regular expressions in your text editor, Microsoft Word, or other piece of software.
Please bring your laptop.
Open to Undergraduates, Graduate Students, Postdocs, Staff, Faculty, Public, Alumni, & Friends
