    I taught myself Regex using Regex101, so something doesn’t add up here.

        Does every Regex contain a reverse negative lookup? Do I need to know how to do a reverse negative lookup to write a Regex?

        If not, why are you asking?

            I have written dozens upon dozens of Regexes without using reverse negative lookups, but I guess according to you I don’t really know Regexes because I haven’t used those specific features?

            You don’t need to know all about a subject to know a subject.

                I’m not sure why you’re bringing up efficiency, I’m not talking about that. If I don’t understand a topic, I can’t do things with the topic. I use Regexes, so I must at least somewhat understand Regexes.

                I’m saying if you look at my code, and I write a lot of negative lookups in dev ops for data validation, you can’t read my code. It’s nothing personal.

                Well, earlier you were saying that I don’t know Regexes if I don’t know reverse negative lookups. Funnily enough Regex101 would help me understand your code in this case, so you were wrong on that count too.
