Notes from regex

[chendaniely]

@icrandell

my notes from the lesson today:

Some of these should probably be changed in the actual lesson material, as it's current written, it is making too many forward references

\d becomes \\d


grep.... not using str_find/detect
you switched from tidyverse to baser

you did lists and subsetting list elements before it was covered


look ahead/behind the same as NAME: .* NAICS



gsub ... not using str_replace




string_extract_all vs string_extract


switch between vectors and individual strings

if you fix it, can you rename the regex file to 060-strings.Rmd?

per conversation earlier:

• Move the vectorized/list/webscraping specific examples/code into a new rmd file in save_for_later.
  We'll put this in the chapter after web scraping as a 'case study' example of sorts. You can even use your original loaded dataset examples here too.
• Convert examples into single string examples and put them in a regular expression subsection under the strings chapter (060-strings.Rmd)
