... Regex are great! But ah, are you sure we're talking about the same thing? Perl and Python are vastly different different languages. Python is almost like...
... They're both scripting languages, though. ... Ah, well, some Perl affectionados will say Perl can be like that, too. Just with a wee bit more syntactic...
