https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVdBPvOOjBA New York Haskell Meetup: Brian Hurt explains a different approach, with a number of advantages, to implementing regular expressions. Despite the title, no math is actually required- so if you don't remember calculus (or never took it), that's OK. A pragmatic understanding of regular expressions is assumed however.

Generate strings based on regular expressions
This article explains how to generate strings based on regular expressions. To make it possible, we will use the Hoa\Compiler and Hoa\Regex libraries. The goal is twofold: first it helps to analyze regular expressions, and second we see how to visit the produced AST in order to generate strings. A bonus waits the intrepids.
