LPT: ChatGPT is incredible for generating and evaluating regex

posted 1 year ago

I have to use a ton of regex in my new job (plz save me), and I use ChatGPT for all of it. My job would be 10x harder if it wasn’t for ChatGPT. It provides extremely detailed examples and warns you of situations where the regex may not perform as expected. Seriously, try it out.

Not just for writing, and testing samples. It will also explain the parts of the regex.

However it won’t generate examples that will pass the regex - which may be the biggest benefit of chatGPT.

This is the way. Everything ChatGPT produces for me gets tested and debugged here.

This is where I go to validate the work of ChatGPT. The debugging capabilities in that site are wonderful.
