What fresh hell is this

.replaceAll("(//"?)([^//d]+)(//.?)([^//d]+)(//.?)([//d]{3})(//.?)([^/d]+)(//"?)","$1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9")

...who is fucking with me

There should be a post type “facts” || “dev hints” || something like that where we can post cool stuff we figured out..

Like how to replaceAll in JS?
“Hello ranters”.split(“e”).join(“foo”);

JS devs probably know this but I didn’t, so yeah..

String.replace and String.replaceAll in Java. Doubly anti-intuitive naming... First it makes you think replace will replace a single instance in the string but aCtUaLlY replace is replaceAllByExactMatch and replaceAll is replaceAllByRegexMatch.

Just as bad are C's fwrite and fseek which have the target FILE* in opposite ends of the parameter list

LONG LIVE to ReplaceAll editor's functionality

Only 83.7% users support replaceAll(). Weird bug, difficult to debug

Used the java replace method to remove specific characters with a regex. Wondered, why the characters weren't replaced until I realized I forgot that replace doesn't use regex but matches literally. Checked my previous code snippets, whether I made that mistake previously ... nope, I used replaceAll. 🤦
