Regex
Edit: to everyone who responded, I use regex infrequently enough that the knowledge never really crystalizes. By the time I need it for this one thing again, I haven't touched it in like a year.
Most of regex is pretty basic and easy to learn, it's the look ahead and look behind that are the killers imo
(?=)
for positive lookahead and(?!)
for negative lookahead. Stick a<
in the middle for lookbehind.
