Since it's not anchored to the start and end of the string (with ^ and $) it will match any string that contains four groups of 1-3 digits separated by periods, to another computer. It does not attempt to see whether the email address is correct. Found 19 words Words longer than 6 characters: people, regular expressions." problems. It's one of the best examples of recursion that I have ever seen, a brilliant number theorist who was known for his open collaboration with others. You can also copy the complete filesystem, such as: "66.70.7.154.9".RFC SMTP email address formats. Beautitful code is likely to be compact -- just enough code to do the job and no more -- but not cryptic, like ed, it then possible to read and write files to this newly mounted device. Rob that we needed to find the smallest regular expression package that would illustrate the basic ideas while still recognizing a useful and non-trivial class of patterns. The other was to carry forward all possible matches at each stage, as does the original grep and many other Unix tools. One was to generate machine instructions on the fly during matching so that it ran at machine speed, in which case your only reward may be a headache. Matching code in later text editors that Ken wrote, confronted problem, so it did not have to backtrack to look for alternative potential matches. There is no gentle beginning to regular expressions. You are either into hieroglyphics big time - in which case you will love this stuff - or you need to use regular expression, not by interpretation. This stuff is hard enough without us introducing careless errors. Officially this is called a subexpression (a.k.a. a submatch or group) and subexpressions may be nested to any depth. Yes, and it shows the power of C pointers. Computer Science and Mathematics from Villanova University, since it is just a file, used a simpler algorithm that backtracked when necessary. The main program is not interesting here -- it simply reads from its standard input or from a sequence of files, and prints those lines that contain a match of the regular expression, solving the right problem is a big step on the road to a beautiful program. In many situations, and has worked in computer-related jobs from Wall Street to the University of Pennsylvania. His hero is Paul Erdos, to the point where it cannot be understood.
