I hate regexp.
Mostly because I only have a need for it once every decade and I forget about it.

I like your Visual FA project.
You don't want to allow -0.xxx?

That regex is in error, and I've since updated it, but not the post.

I only hate it because I can't understand it. I have yet to find the tutorial that explains it in a way I can understand it.

I think I would have probably created the state machine from scratch instead of trying to describe the valid input with that regex!

It's nothing to do with love or hate. I recognise regular expressions' utility, but simply don't use (or need) them often enough to be comfortable with them.

(not read all replies so it might been discussed already)
How about being able to parse leading zero's?
They do not occur often, but these are valid ascii representations of numbers.
E.g. -000123.456 or 0000042 may not be efficient but very well parsable.
Supporting leading zeros would add two edges to your dfa.

Not valid JSON, IIRC.
Though my regex has since been updated. The one in the original post was not compliant.

Why would that be an exception? What would happen if 0 were interpreted as octal zero?

> What would happen if 0 were interpreted as octal zero?
answer 1: Nothing
answer 2: unless the parser expects additional digits {0..7}

Anything that can be used to distinguish between us, who master it, and them, the primitive people who do not master it, is great!
That goes for all sorts of technology, philosophy, culture, ... Whatever. Anything that let you excel over others is essential to your self image. If it were so simple to understand that your old mother (and grandmother) could easily understand it, then you could impress noone with it.

Personally I'm more about the utility and mathematical purity of it.

I see in my mailbox the last weekly news letter is from January 2024.
Is this now abandoned?

Hi All,
Back in the day there was a film Short Circuit with a Robot (called Johnny 5) who I think came out with the phrase "No Disassemble!" For the current project I am working on a gif of that scene (if I remember it right) would be suitable for my main project at the moment.

I dumped Sky at the start of the year and went to EE: moved my broadband, landline, and TV provider all together and it worked out about 50% of the same price from Sky. I still get some Sky channels via Now included and best of all it's totally streamed instead of satellite - which means weather / trees don't affect it in the least.
Most of the TV content is still repeats of repeats of repeated garbage, but ... it's cheaper repeats of repeats of repeated garbage! 
Oh, and thanks to the new router all my landline calls are now VOIP instead of analog ready for the PSTN switch off at the end of this year.
