Learning how to write regular expressions

[JThompson986]

I'm working on a project that requires me to parse data from PDF files into a data table. After trying to copy and paste the tables from the PDF and converting the PDF to an excel sheet, both solutions still left me with a lot of hand keying to get the data into a table format. I'm looking for a course to write regular expressions to help me with this project. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you

My recommendation would be

1. Go through all the Regex related Weekly challenges, and check other persons workflow.
   by this we can know how other people doing their RegEx.

2. Use this website, it is very useful.
