I'm parsing Lithuanian verbs, and in tidying up the raw HTML, I'm compelled to come up with little beauties like this:
<a href="\/[a-z]*\/[a-z]*\W*[a-z]*\W*[a-z]*">
...in order to to clear away the HTML formatting.
The problem lies in the fact that Lithuanian diacritics (č, ž, ė, ę and so on) are not recognised as letters [a-z] but rather as non-word characters \W.
Just finished Chapter 3 of the Ruby on Rails Tutorial (Rails 5) by Michael Hartl, and after the umpteenth time going through "rails new app" and "rails scaffold this-that-or-the-other", I got on to static pages. It's a bit to take in, but it's starting to make sense.
