dollar sign here at the end that does | 2,055.44 | 4 |
not mean I want the user to type a | 2,057.679 | 3.881 |
carrot symbol or a dollar sign this is | 2,059.44 | 5.12 |
special symbology that indicates to re. | 2,061.56 | 5.079 |
search that it should only look for now | 2,064.56 | 5 |
an exact math against this pattern so if | 2,066.639 | 5.24 |
I now go back to my terminal window and | 2,069.56 | 3.799 |
I'll leave the previous result on the | 2,071.879 | 3.641 |
screen let me type the exact same thing | 2,073.359 | 5.201 |
my email address is maen harvard.edu | 2,075.52 | 6.2 |
enter sorry period and now I'm going to | 2,078.56 | 5.799 |
go ahead and hit enter now that's | 2,081.72 | 4.959 |
considered invalid but let me clear the | 2,084.359 | 3.681 |
screen and just to make sure I didn't | 2,086.679 | 3.2 |
break things let me type in just my | 2,088.04 | 5.639 |
email address and that too is valid any | 2,089.879 | 6.121 |
questions now on this version of my | 2,093.679 | 4.841 |
regular expression which note goes | 2,096 | 5.68 |
further to specify even more precisely | 2,098.52 | 5.64 |
that I want it to match at the start and | 2,101.68 | 3.36 |
the | 2,104.16 | 4.919 |
end any questions on this one here okay | 2,105.04 | 7.2 |
you have slash and that edu and then the | 2,109.079 | 6.721 |
dollar sign but the dot is like uh one | 2,112.24 | 6.32 |
of the regular expression right it | 2,115.8 | 5.4 |
normally is but this backslash that I | 2,118.56 | 6.039 |
deliberately put before this period here | 2,121.2 | 6 |
is an escape character it is a way of | 2,124.599 | 5.361 |
telling re. search that I don't want any | 2,127.2 | 4.919 |
character there I literally want a | 2,129.96 | 4.52 |
period there and it's the only way you | 2,132.119 | 4.48 |
can distinguish one from the other if I | 2,134.48 | 4.68 |
got rid of that slash this would mean | 2,136.599 | 4.441 |
that the email address just has to end | 2,139.16 | 4.4 |
with any character then an e then a d | 2,141.04 | 4.52 |
then a u i don't want that I want | 2,143.56 | 5 |
literally a period Then the E then the D | 2,145.56 | 5.36 |
then the U this is actually common | 2,148.56 | 4.64 |
convention in programming and technology | 2,150.92 | 3.919 |
in general if you and I decide on a | 2,153.2 | 3.48 |
convention whereby we're using some | 2,154.839 | 3.28 |
character on the keyboard to mean | 2,156.68 | 3.919 |
something special invariably we create a | 2,158.119 | 4.401 |
future problem for oursel when we want | 2,160.599 | 4.441 |
to literally use that same character and | 2,162.52 | 4.319 |
so the solution in general to that | 2,165.04 | 3.799 |
problem is to somehow escape the | 2,166.839 | 3.361 |
character so that it's clear to the | 2,168.839 | 3.121 |
computer that it's not that special | 2,170.2 | 4.32 |
symbol it's literally the symbol it sees | 2,171.96 | 4.56 |
so we don't need another we don't need | 2,174.52 | 5.64 |
another another slash before the dollar | 2,176.52 | 7.36 |
sign no uh because in this case dollar | 2,180.16 | 5.88 |
sign means something special per this | 2,183.88 | 4.4 |
chart here dollar sign by itself does | 2,186.04 | 4.76 |
not mean US dollars or currency it | 2,188.28 | 4.28 |
literally means match the end of the | 2,190.8 | 4.96 |
string if however I wanted the user to | 2,192.56 | 5.68 |
literally type in a dollar sign at the | 2,195.76 | 4.52 |
end of their input the solution would be | 2,198.24 | 4.359 |
the same I would put a backslash before | 2,200.28 | 4.4 |
the dollar sign which means my email | 2,202.599 | 3.48 |
address would have to be something like | 2,204.68 | 4.56 |
maen harvard.edu dollar sign which is | 2,206.079 | 5.961 |
obviously not correct too so backslashes | 2,209.24 | 5.48 |
just allow you to tell the computer to | 2,212.04 | 4.88 |
not treat those symbols specially like | 2,214.72 | 4.359 |
meaning something special but to treat | 2,216.92 | 4.56 |
them literally instead how about one | 2,219.079 | 4.481 |
other question here on regular | 2,221.48 | 4.4 |
Expressions you said you said one | 2,223.56 | 5.519 |
represents to to make it one plus then | 2,225.88 | 5.04 |
you say one was to make it one with | 2,229.079 | 5.321 |
nothing sure let me rewind in time I | 2,230.92 | 4.72 |
think what you're referring to was one | 2,234.4 | 3.04 |
of our earlier versions that initially | 2,235.64 | 4.24 |
looked like this which just meant Zero | 2,237.44 | 5.24 |
or more characters than an at sign than | 2,239.88 | 5.479 |
zero or more other characters we then | 2,242.68 | 5.88 |
evolved that to be this do Plus on both | 2,245.359 | 4.96 |
sides which means one or more characters | 2,248.56 | 4.12 |
on the left then an at sign then one or | 2,250.319 | 4.52 |
more characters on the right and if I'm | 2,252.68 | 4.08 |
interpreting your question correctly one | 2,254.839 | 3.641 |
of the points I made earlier was that if | 2,256.76 | 3.88 |
you didn't use Plus or forgot that it | 2,258.48 | 4.359 |
exists you could equivalently achieve | 2,260.64 | 4.32 |
the exact same result with two dots and | 2,262.839 | 5.041 |
a star because the first dot means any | 2,264.96 | 5.04 |
character it's got to be there the | 2,267.88 | 5.4 |
second dot star means zero or more other | 2,270 | 5.48 |
characters and same on the right so it's | 2,273.28 | 4.28 |
just another way of expressing the same | 2,275.48 | 4.879 |
idea one or more can be represented like | 2,277.56 | 5.559 |
this with DOT do star or you can just | 2,280.359 | 5.361 |
use the handier syntax of plus which | 2,283.119 | 4.601 |
means the same thing all right so I dare | 2,285.72 | 3.599 |
say there's still some problems with the | 2,287.72 | 3.48 |
regular expression in this current form | 2,289.319 | 3.52 |
because even though now we're starting | 2,291.2 | 2.919 |
