Regex Golf

[[A woman sits at a laptop, leaning back over her chair to address a figure.]] Regex golf: Woman: You try to matchone one group but not the other. M | [TN]|B matches Star Wars subtitles but not Star Trek. Figure: Cool. [[We zoom to just show the woman, looking at her screen.]] Meta-regex golf: Woman: So I wrote a program that plays regex golf with arbitrary lists... Figure: Uh oh... [[We zoom back out. The figure is facepalming. The woman is typing.]] Meta-meta-regex golf: Woman: ...but I lost my code, so I'm grepping for files that look like regex golf solvers. [[We zoom back in.]] ... And beyond: Woman: Really, this is all (meta-)*regex golf . Figure: Now you have infinite problems. Woman: No, I had those already. {{Title text: bu|[rn]t|[coy]e|[mtg]a|j|iso|n[hl]|[ae]d|lev|sh|[lnd]i|[po]o|ls matches the last names of elected US presidents but not their opponents.}}
