What if there was a game where you had to come up with a regular expression that matched a string? The more specific the regular expression is, the more points would be scored. After a certain number of guesses, the person with the most points would be the winner.

This would be an interesting game for programmers to play. It improve the player’s skills with regular expressions and it would be interesting to see how specific a person could get with a regular expression.

It would be an interesting idea that is sort of similar to this programming game show idea.
