If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Congratulations and a message from the future.
Back in 93 when windows was but 3.1 and Novell Netware roamed the earth, We all spend hours and hours studying, failing, passing and whipping out our wallet for the privilege to be Certified Netware Engineers, really? Engineers?. Companies and clients wanted (for they knew not better) to have CNE certifications for their techs. After time went on and Windows NT server began to take over the boxes once housing Netware OS's we could see that this was quite a nice revenue stream for all concerned as we all had lined up for our now and quickly outdated CNE certs. As the time one could get A+ certified for MS. I rolled eyes at that as we were deploying server hand over fist and simply googling our way to our own self employed "certification", while people we knew would smugly say "I'm A+ Certified" - yeah whatever. Can you do the work without dying on site?
As you get older it is inevitable that you hate your former naivete and stickers they give you to put of your office door that won't come off easily.
Has anyone actually seen a Brouter? (Bridge / Router) I suppose that's every Soho router today but boy that was a big thing to Novell. I suppose the had a box for that.

regex - State Elimination DFA to Regular Expression - Stack Overflow[^]
*headdesk*
I hate it when I'm trying to do stuff that almost nobody does because then there's nobody I can ask.
I found *one* codebase that can do this, but it's in java, uses a huge 3rd party java lib, and is completely uncommented and unintelligible.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Yes, but it does give more a feeling of accomplishment than doing easy stuff. And where there's muck, there's brass

I hear you, but I guess part of my problem with this, is it's such complicated code for such a minor function.
All I'm trying to do is convert a finite automata state machine back to a regular expression that it represents.
Converting from a regular expression TO a state machine is relatively easy.
The reverse is a huge pain.

I had that with a method called "PtrSwap". Delphi allows assembly code. Very minor, and just a few lines of simple code. That was about 20 years ago.

Yeah, don't talk like that at parties.

Going from something that describes a SM is simpeler than taking a SM and trying to hammer it into a regex. Not even sure if every SM can be described as a regex.
Meaning it hasn't been done often. Soo.. if you can, you do. You may hate your code, drop working on it for a bit, but it will be worth it.
..but do I hear the sounds of a new article there?

mathematically any character based DFA that follows the GNFA pattern (has a closed machine with one accept state) can be represented as a regular expression even using only | () and *

hell yes, I may have just solved it. I successfully got the state machine at the link to produce the regex at the link.
Let's see if it works for others. =)
Edit: Works for the xyz example at the link too, so far so good

Complex things should at least take a week. Go on holiday in Greece for six days or similar, then come back explaining how it works.

So there's a example with your new article?

it's still not working yet. I have 6 days. The last 20% takes 80% of the time so I'm right on schedule.

A couple of messages below I made mention that that my messages go into moderation. As a result several members apparently checked my messages and I got a number of upvotes! Nice!  This was totally unexpected and I thank all kind members involved. I suddenly feel very warm and welcome!

welcome to the masses.
have you picked a team: microsoft or no? (don't have to say, just reply as/when appropriate)
and polite public farting is allowed, just don't over do it (particularly after eating too many eggs)

Quote: have you picked a team: microsoft or no?
Microsoft doesn't always get it right, but I really appreciate some of the things they do, such as providing arguably the best IDE (Visual Studio) free of charge. And they keep it well maintained.
I also got Windows 10 free of charge when I upgraded from Windows 8 eons ago. I never had to pay a dime for 10, or the countless upgrades that followed.
So: I have to vote for MS.
