We get quite a few questions relating to regular expressions in here.
Now, regular expressions aren't exclusive to PHP.... it would be quite handy to have a board in here for regex.... who agrees? (I'd like it anyway
- and I'm sure feyd would).

I agree, I would like to see a centralized forum for Regex!!
Many questions here pertain to regex in PHP, so it seems fitting..

it would make it more general, and call it the parsing/lexing forum...

Slowly.... it's tricky to prevent conflicts with matching keywords inside of strings and / or comments. I will get it done though

I wouldnt mind having one. Although not very many people have enough of a handle on regex to help in the first place

Lemme be a mod and I'll moderate it LOL
It'd just be nice to have these categorized... it will make searching easier too.
I guess I should have had a third option "What is a RegExp?" LOL

I think it would be pretty handy, as you could not only ask questions, but get ready-to-use patterns easily
Also, nothing that big, but the Client-side forum should imo be split into HTML, CSS and Client-Languages (Javascript, DHTML, DOM, etc.).

I agree with tim in that I definitely think it would help to have a seperate place to ask these questions but also that the name should be a little more abstract.
