***Five Habits for Successful Regular Expressions
For many programmers, writing regular expressions is a black art. They
stick to the features they know and hope for the best. Tony
Stubblebine, author of "Regular Expression Pocket Reference," says

habits for regular expression development. The code examples in this
article use Perl, PHP, and Python, but the advice Tony espouses is
applicable to nearly any regex implementation.
