# Author: Aaron Phalen | Twitter: @aaron_phalen | Email: aaronphalen@gmail.com
# Summary:
# A rudimentary understanding of regex expression (Regex) can take a programmer a long
# ways with text manpulation. However, only once the advanced concepts of
# Regex is understood, can a programmer can increase the elegance and efficiency of code,
# and thefore ultimately increasing programming output by virtues of specialization.
# Motivation:
# I have been using regular expressions for a couple years in the most basics sense, and
# the need to broaden my regex scope of knowledge in this programming meta-language has
# not needed until recently. See advanced usage of Regex in various Python Django books,
# my interest has been piqued by the elegance and thus this gist!
