| Abstract | Much has been written about the power and flexibility of regular expressions. Regular expressions represent an entirely new drawer in the programmer’s toolbox that provide yet another way of attacking a problem and developing a solution. Imagine a rather common scenario where, during a testing phase, output from the current run is compared to output from the previous run. If updates to the program do not pertain to a particular table, then the output from both runs should be the same. What about the logs though? Excluding things like dates, what happens when changes in the program result in vastly differing logs. Compare utilities cannot adequately match up these logs with the additional information. Enter some regular expressions along with metadata to help solve the comparison problem. The goal of this paper is to explore a particular application of regular expressions (the comparison of vastly differing logs). This paper assumes a basic understanding of regular expressions. |
