I'm trying desparatly to learn Regular Expressions, so I'm trying to blog all the resources that I can find on the subject.

xkcd has a great comic about regular expressions:



It rings so true--if you have ever seen the look of amazement on people's faces after you use regular expressions, you definitely understand the comic.

For those of you who aren't familiar with regular expressions, have you ever received a data file as part of a Dynamics GP data migration or import that had horrible formatting, or had extra or messy data in it that made it nearly impossible for you to use?

Or, to pull a skeleton out of our own GP closet, have you ever had to try and extract just the data from a Dynamics GP report that was saved to a text file? Or attempted to get the GP report to import into Excel? Fun, huh? All those massive, useless page headers, and the fields positioned all over the multi-line detail data make those quite a chore.

I've seen this plenty over the years, and surprisingly, a typical reaction is, "Sorry, we can't work with that format." People just don't know how to deal with such messy looking or inconsistent data layouts.

Although it can't solve every data formatting problem, regular expressions can be a life saver in many situations, and using regular expressions is usually much cheaper (often free!) than high-end data extraction applications.

Regular Expressions, or "reg ex" (or regex or regexp) for short, is a technique of using special search strings, or patterns, that allow you to search for specific, complex, or possibly inconsistent or varying patterns in a text file.

One of my most basic and frequent uses of regex is to take a column of data and convert it for use in a SQL statement. I had to use…
