My article in .NET / update to Dropdown

posted: 03 Sep '11 18:54 tags: REGEXP, .NET, article, me, dropdown, image

Remember I blogged a few months back that I'd been approached to write for .NET? Well my article is in the latest (September) issue, so perhaps you've seen it.

It's a beginner's guide to tackling regular expressions - one of the most avoided and feared areas of programming for elementary-intermediate-level developers.

There's an annoying typo; the * modifier, of course, matches zero or more characters, not one or more. D'oh. I had meant the + modifier, which does match one or more characters.

In other news, following a recent update to my jQuery Dropdown script (which allowed it to be used as a form field, not just as a navigational tool), there's been another update.

In the comments on the script page, Michael Eaton requested that it be possible to include icons in the 'options'. This is now possible!
