[CODE4LIB] RegEx for public services/public-facing librarians
Good morning, A colleague and I are planning a workshop on using regular expressions and expect an audience of primarily public services librarians. I was hoping other users here could suggest some applications of regex that would be useful for librarians who are *not* working in technical services or IT 9where the applications are much more obvious to me). For example, pointing out that some apps and programs, like Google Docs, can use regex for find/replace, web sites or databases that support regex in searches, and so on. Thanks in advance.

Learning the migthy regex - always a good idea! Are you aware of e.g. https://regexr.com/ where you can WYSIWYG? Many tools feature regex, e.g. Elasticsearch[1], which we use to search our library metadata, e.g.: https://lobid.org/resources/search?q=%2Fjoh%3Fn%28ath%5Boa%5Dn%29%2F Cheers, pascal [1]https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#_regular_expressions -- Pascal Christoph, Software Developer | Offene Infrastruktur, www.hbz-nrw.de

Hmmm... Rudimentary searching:
* amass a set of plain text files, say Project Gutenberg texts
* articulate an idea ("word") of interest
* use grep to search for the idea in the set
Clean/normalize a corpus:
* amass a set of plain text files, say Project Gutenberg texts
* download & install BBEdit
* use BBEdit's "Multi-File Search..." function and regular expressions to do
things like remove digits (\d+) from the set or remove two-letter "words" from
the set (\b\w\w\b)
Such works wonders against ugly OCR, and as a bonus, the result will be much
more amenable to topic modeling. I suspect NotePad++ includes similar
functionality.
From a Linux or Mac OS X command line, count & tabulate all the words & numbers
in a file (functional, not perfect, and ugly):
$ cat file.txt | tr -d '\r' | tr '\n' ' ' | \
tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | tr -d '[:punct:]' | \
tr ' ' '\n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | less
Great for beginning to learn the "aboutness" of a file. For extra credit,
remove stop words.
Emphasize how the use of regular expressions is about the syntax ("shape") of
words, not their semantics.

Notepad++ (which I've used for websites) and MS Word (for finding and/or replacing characters within a file) both have Regex functionality.

Re: [CODE4LIB] RegEx for public services/public-facing librarians
Mike, So, non-technical users... - Finding phone numbers for a particular range of exchanges in a large document and changing the area code. - Reversing all names of a transcript (e.g. lines start with : "quote" and become , : "quote"). - Finding every instance of an email address *not* followed by a particular domain name. - Changing every date reference in a particular format to a different format (e.g. MM/dd/yy to .MM.dd) without affecting other numerical references (e.g. scores like 93/100, or 6/10). Those could be needed by anyone, not just IT or Tech Services. HTH.
