Santa needs your help! Santa is currently stuck in Bangkok, Thailand !!!
Santa was so busy working that his reindeer needed a break from pulling the sleigh. Unfortunately the reindeer have now walked away – but if Santa calls their names they will return!
Unfortunately Santa has had a long day and can’t remember their names! (Santa is a little embarrassed about it – so please don’t tell anyone ). Lucky Santa has their names saved on the Regex101 website but needs your help with the Regex pattern.
Can you help Santa with his Regex?
*Please include in your reply which challenge you are solving - “Beginner” or “Advanced”
Beginners Advent Challenge #2:
Lucky Santa is prepared and has the reindeer names saved on Regex101.com (BEGINNERS LINK) with the number of snowmen they have made at the North pole this year.
To Complete the Beginner’s challenge for Santa:
- Obtain the names of the reindeer from the Beginner list using Regex.
- Share your working Regex Pattern in your reply (Screenshot/text)
- Upload evidence (screenshot/s) that you successfully obtained the results using UiPath.
- Suggestion: Share a screenshot of your ‘write line’ results
- Or Upload your XAML in your reply
Need help? A friendly elf sent me this Regex MEGAPOST link.
Advanced Advent Challenge #2:
Lucky Santa is prepared and has the reindeer names saved on Regex101.com (ADVANCED LINK) with the number of snowmen they have made at the North pole this year.
BUT wait there is a problem! Santa’s reindeer list is looking REALLY messy…
- The elves have been playing with the file and have drawn Christmas images in it.
- The file also corrupted when an elf threw a snowball at the computer and hit it. Now the file has random characters throughout!
There is some hope though. Santa did tell us about the Pattern within the text. Santa did say that each Reindeer name had a prefix of "Reindeer: “ and there was exactly eight (8) reindeer.
To complete the Advanced Challenge for Santa:
- Obtain the names of the reindeer from the Advanced list using Regex.
- Share your working Regex Pattern in your reply (Screenshot/text)
- Obtain the number of snowman each reindeer has made at the North pole.
- Share your working Regex Pattern in your reply (Screenshot/text)
- Combine both results into a single write line activity so it’s easy for Santa to read.
- Example: “Reindeer1 has made 7 snowmen”
- Or upload your XAML in your reply.
