Question about 02-match-extract-strings.md #220
Comments
Hey, I think I understand the issue that I had with this section a little better. However, I did notice that the link in the following sections no longer works: "Find the latest list here. What expression would capture this? Hint: the . is also a metacharacter, so you will have to use the escape \ to express a literal period. Note: for the string after the period, we did not try to match a - character, since those rarely appear in the characters after the period at the end of an email address." This is on the following page: https://librarycarpentry.org/lc-data-intro/02-match-extract-strings.html#exercise-finding-email-addresses-using-regex101.com |
episodes\01-regular-expressions.md - Elevated "Learning common regex metacharacters" to improve the layout of the episode - Numbered challenges / exercises (LibraryCarpentry#198) - Removed decayed link, replaced with regex100.com library of commmunity-submitted regex (LibraryCarpentry#210) episodes\01-regular-expressions.md - Numbered exercises (LibraryCarpentry#198) - Clarified that learner should type add a space after community for first challenge in exercise 2.1 (LibraryCarpentry#220 (comment)) - Added exercise 2.4 on use of regex in R (self-organisied workshop, this lessson is taught after https://datacarpentry.org/r-socialsci/)
It appears everything has been addressed. Feel free to re-open or create a new issue if you feel otherwise. |
How could the content be improved?
Hi, I am teaching this lesson for the first time next month and i want to make sure I am not missing someone in this section: Taking spaces into consideration
Type community . You get three matches. Why not six?
The solution says "The string 'community-led' matches the first search, but drops out of this result because the space does not match the character -." but we are asked to type in "community", not "community-led". Am I missing something?
Actually, I think I figured this, it was not clear that you needed to type community with a space. I will mention this when teaching the lesson
