LPT: ChatGPT is incredible for generating and evaluating regex (programming.dev)

I have to use a ton of regex in my new job (plz save me), and I use ChatGPT for all of it. My job would be 10x harder if it wasn't for ChatGPT. It provides extremely detailed examples and warns you of situations where the regex may not perform as expected. Seriously, try it out.

Just make sure to test the regex instead of blindly slapping it in assuming it works 🙂

The new Code Interpreter plugin that went live for this week for Plus users can actually execute Python code on a sandboxed environment. This allows you to add "Write and execute tests for the regex" to the end of your prompt.

Regex101 is a sandbox env specifically for Regex

This is the way. Everything ChatGPT produces for me gets tested and debugged here.
