Match text patterns using regular expressions with Regex Machina

Turing Terminal, 2077 A.D.

In Regex Machina, you’re an officer who must help inbound travelers reach their destinations. Your task is to process the travelers as either human or bot. To differentiate them, use regular expressions to match the human strings while avoiding the bot strings.

But be advised, some of the bots are nearly indistinguishable from humans! To process all of the travelers successfully, you’ll need to match complex text patterns using features of regular expressions such as character sets and ranges ([]), wildcards (.), quantifiers (*, +, ?), metacharacters (\d, \w, \s), anchors (^, $), and capture groups (()).
