If regular expressions are your solution, than your problem is wrong.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think, “I know, I'll use regular expressions.”

Now they have two problems.

Counterargument: ctrl+f is a great place for regex. Write once read never problems are a great application for unreadable languages. Imagine if people wrote scripts in the language vi uses for editnigbceediting, which mostly isn't even displayed as it's typed!

But yeah, it's kind of terrible for anything else.
