in reply to Contest Ideas Quest

How about a competition to find the longest (and most useful) regex which is a palindrome. (i.e. same read backwards as forwards). e.g. (stupid example) s/abc/cba/s It would be easy to submit, the winner would be chosen by the members of the monastry voting for their favourites. Entries would be visible to everyone. Hopefully early entries would get the creative juices flowing in others.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Cant really see this one taking off.... Its too complicated, and most people cant be bothered to search for palindromic regex's.
