Regex Creates Two Problems

• You have A problem. • Regex is the solution. • Now you have 2 problems There was this saying: "the plural of regex is regrets"

A text meme shows the progression from having one problem to using regex as a solution and ending up with two problems. The punchline is a pun on “regex” and “regrets,” joking that regular expressions often create more problems than they solve. It is shared as a reaction by programmers when regex makes a task confusing or unexpectedly difficult.
