I use a regular expression maybe a couple days out of the year; it seems they don't come up very often in real-time biomedical algorithms engineering. I'm sure most embedded programmers feel the same way.



All programmers' text editors include search/replace with regex and external filter commands (of which many of the often used are regex-enabled).

If the biomed or embedded programmer deliberately does not make use of that functionality, he is inefficient.


What if needing to search and replace in the first place is inefficient? Also, what if that engineer is female? Is he still inefficient?

I'm finding these comments hilarious. No true programmer!
