It explains all parts of your regex and highlights all matches in your example text. I usually add a comment to a regex101 playground if I use a regex in code.
I have written dozens upon dozens of Regexes without using reverse negative lookups, but I guess according to you I don’t really know Regexes because I haven’t used those specific features?
You don’t need to know all about a subject to know a subject.
I’m not saying you’re not efficient. I’m saying if you look at my code, and I write a lot of negative lookups in dev ops for data validation, you can’t read my code. It’s nothing personal.
I’m not sure why you’re bringing up efficiency, I’m not talking about that. If I don’t understand a topic, I can’t do things with the topic. I use Regexes, so I must at least somewhat understand Regexes.

Well, earlier you were saying that I don’t know Regexes if I don’t know reverse negative lookups. Funnily enough Regex101 would help me understand your code in this case, so you were wrong on that count too.
I recommend using https://regex101.com/

I disagree. I found it to be incredibly useful when I knew what regex was and that I needed it, but I couldn’t piece together a single string with it.
I taught myself Regex using Regex101, so something doesn’t add up here.
You taught yourself how to do reverse negative lookups on regex101?
Does every Regex contain a reverse negative lookup? Do I need to know how to do a reverse negative lookup to write a Regex?
If not, why are you asking?

Dev ops wagie thinks he’s a programmer, lmfao.
