no one should have to write regular expressions to lint their diary, it's just wrong.

the python re module is the one I have the most trouble remembering. it's not the regular expression's fault, either! it's just the design of the module itself.I can never remember if it's re.find or re.search(it's re.search, but re.findall)

the worst part is that it shouldn't match [this} or {this], while still matching [this] and {this}

(I'm writing a sort of wiki that uses [links] and {links} for the same thing, just in different context. I thought of the syntax way, way before I thought of parsing it)

@foone us know sometimes a state machine is the right answer. [\w} {\w] not getting caught in \(\[.\+\]\) is going to get ugly with stupid edge case silliness.

anyone know an easy way to set up a "when any file in this folder changes, run this script" hook on windows? preferably something I can drop in and hook up to a python script, and it runs it in the background. I don't want to have to

@foone You can enable file auditing for the Modify action on the folder and then trigger a scheduled task on this event if you want to use built in features.Or you can use something like https://www.joejoesoft.com/vcms/170/

@foone the Python watchdog module claims to work on windows. I'm using it in my current project (on Linux) and it seems to work well there.https://pypi.org/project/watchdog/

@foone That's the thing that always put me off learning python, more than the idiotic whitespace/indentation shit: that regexps aren't built-in operators. The whole idea of designing a scripting/very high level language tha way makes my skin crawl.
