the regexes are insultingly bad, on top of everything else.
it should obviously be
^(?:[Ww]holesome)?[Yy]uriBold of you to assume that someone with enough time to compile such a massive list has any useful skill. Whoever made that list is the embodiment of "touch grass"
Perhaps their regex engine is insultingly bad. But I assume they would use the basic js/ts which is not that bad.
Some croak on just about anything except basic matching, look ahead, look behind, no capture groups, etc.. pfft. Too advanced
if it doesn't have the recursion operator it's an inferior regex flavour
Mayybe, the regex matching was case insensitive?
I need to learn regexes
It's easy, if you're on windows just hit the window key and type "regedit". It will ask if you're sure, just say yes bc you want to learn.
After that just start clicking on things and changing values to see what happens. Learn by doing. You got this!
I suggest deleting everything and starting from scratch
I just sort of assume most people will end up coming to that conclusion on their own once they see all the nonsense and gibberish it's full of. You can save thousands of bytes of hard drive space clearing all that crap out, and with the price of drives these days it's kind of crazy not to.
checkout regex101
I always just use (?i) at the beginning of everything I don't care about case for. Is that inadvisable compared to this?
