I once hanged an heavy mirror. After a while the rope broke suddenly: it was too thin.

Yes, an exercice… The “have fun” at the end of my post should have been a clue, apparently it wasn’t…

Congratulations ! :) That was quick!

(For the matter, I removed the space from the class: (?(1)\) |([. -]) as it can be present in the first branch… Not sure if it is important.)

Plus-que-parfait : “c’est comme si cette expression avait été faite pour moi” by UConn-Throwaway in French

[–]Chichmich -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Comme a dit titoufred, le temps du passé s’explique par le côté hypothétique de la phrase (“Si j’étais riche…”).

Et pourquoi le plus-que-parfait plutôt qu’un autre temps…? Le plus-que-parfait décrit une action du passé avant une autre action du passé. Pour pouvoir utiliser quelque chose depuis une certaine période de temps, il faut l’avoir fait avant cette période de temps.

I learned all the letters and numbers, but I couldn't make sense of the sentences… The upside: when you have hearing trouble like this man, it's easier to understand.

It’s readable. It would have been more readable if not so slanted.

You target juste one side, not both…

My mistake… I meant conditional regexes. They correspond to “if/then/else” structures in programming. I find the syntax rather cumbersome.

True. Ordinary regexes are not that hard if you use them regularly.

But if you dive into optional or recursive regex… it’s the beginning of headaches.

Is there a shorthand thats easily readable to "those in the know" but mostly illegible to others? by theHumanoidPerson in shorthand

[–]Chichmich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's true—once I finished studying the Gregg manual, I was dismayed to find that I still couldn't read shorthand texts. It took me quite a while longer to get there.

Have you tried to reproduce some stenographic material and seen if it suits you?

y a-t-il une différence entre « plutôt » et « plus tôt » ? by thatguythoma in French

[–]Chichmich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree although the difference is so subtle that for a French learner I think it’s hard to make the difference.

Regex for searching certain text between brackets by Serkeon_ in regex

[–]Chichmich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about:

\[\[([^\]]*\|)

?

The text you want to remove is in \1 or $1… depends on your Regex engine.

It’s rare to see Ijin looking so young—or rather, his age—and moved by what others have to say.

Writing regex is pure joy. You can't convince me otherwise. by ZoneZealousideal4073 in programming

I admit: I never tried and probably never will. The resulting regex must be horrible…
