Practicality Question (Regular Expressions)
Posted: Sun May 04, 2008 10:23 am
Hopefully this is simple question...
When is it deemed practical to use regular expressions type logic over string based logic? Take for example bbcode. all the handlers, classes I have seen use more regular expression than string type functions, why is that?
