Understanding Regular Expressions

Understanding Regular Expressions

In this exercise we will use advanced find-and-replace capabilities in a word processing application in order to make use of structure in a brief historical document that is essentially a table in the form of prose. Without using a general programming language, we will gain exposure to some aspects...

Without using a general programming language, we will gain exposure to some aspects of computational thinking, especially pattern matching, that can be immediately helpful to working historians (and others) using word processors, and can form the basis for subsequent learning with more general programming environments.http://programminghistorian.org/lessons/understanding-regular-expressionsRegular Expressionsdata manipulation
