Hi Detlef, I very much appreciate your idea of a regex tutorial. I would be very interested in reading and trying out one. I have looked for a good tutorial on the net quite a few times but not been able to find one. Unfortunately, I cannot take part in that suggested tutorial circle as I have hardly any idea of how regex work, but I would like to give feedback on anything you (and the circle) write/s.
