Aside from the variations between GNU, Perl, and POSIX, there are also de facto ones, like the POSIX-ish syntax used by FLEX and its variants.
This is where I'm getting most of my information (this site, but here's the page on char classes)

I heard the Hubble took that same first image...
|
|
|
|
|
Hubble had a problem with the mirror warping in zero gravity (if I remember it right), so all pictures were blurry until they went up and fixed it via a shuttle launch.
I remember a Nasa guy saying at the time "This is why you should never name a project something that rhymes with trouble."

Do you use any software / web site / service to :
1) Save URLs
2) categorize those URLs
3) maybe even provide a little note as to why it is interesting (to remind yourself later)
for later reading?
Or, do you just use the browser's favs? -- I find browser favs a bit limiting.
I often come upon material I want to organize into folders for reference and also just keep a _current_ reading list, but haven't found anything very good for that.
Any suggestions?

One Note. It has also a clipping app/add-on to get the content.

Looks like that is something I have to pay for though[^].
I should've added that I'm a cheapskate -- I thought software was free. 
Yes, I make my living from Software Dev & I'm mostly kidding, but $99 / yr feels quite expensive.
Thanks for your input.

I write it down as a business expense and also get to use the Word, Excel and 1TB of OneDrive. It's a pretty good deal IMHO.
My family on the other hand are a bunch of cheapskates who enjoy it for free

Very cool.
And, I'm also embarrassed now, because I guess I could use Google Keep (similar to onenote) and google docs to do something like this.  Should'a thought of that.

I open it, then close it and it will be in my browser history.

That does work. Just looking for something I could use to add a note as to why I was interested in it too.
I am quite addle-brained and often am intensely interested in something that I later look at and wonder why it was important to me.

Why not use your browser's bookmark ability?
|
|
|
|
|
probably just because I've got years of old bookmarks in there that I'm afraid to get rid of, also I'm lazy so basically it comes down to :

You can organise your browser bookmarks in multi-level folders. So I have a bunch of "permanent" bookmarks classified into folders, and a couple of "temporary" folders for your kind of usage. Delete them when read, or purge regularly. Or if it's a good'un, move it to somewhere in your permanents.

Every couple of months I run the "All Bookmarks" browser in firefox. It lets me add folders, and I can add comments, though I usually don't. It also lets me change the name of the bookmark from the html title of the page to whatever I want, which is usually shorter.

I use browser bookmarks - Chrome at least can have multiple folders and subfolders, so I have a lot of folders to navigate for some shortcuts.
The nice bit is that they gets "shared" across devices, so my desktop, Surface, and Android phone all get the same ones.

I utilize Microsoft Edge It has a handy "Collections" feature which is conveniently activated via a button on the address bar I utilize it to collect web sites into categories which it supports In my usage e.g. to wit i.e. "Software Testing" "Computer Hardware" "C++" "News" "Dictionary" "Video" "Edge" "Tastey" "Software Development" "Science" "Music" and others Each category contains any number of urls - Cheerio
|
|
|
|
|
I save them in the favorites. I have a Read Later folder.
|
|
|
|
|
I just pull them from the URL line into a directory, dragging by the icon immediately preceding the text URL. I made myself a directory named 'Rechts' where I can sort the URLs in groups in multiple levels, I can search the page titles, sort on date saved etc.
Most of all: I can do all the browser cleanup (history, bookmarks, ...) I want to do every now and then. Even reinstall Windows from scratch, to get rid of a lot of garbage in one sweep. (I keep all 'useful' files, including the Rechts directory, on other disks than C: and I've got a wizard-like tool for reinstalling all application software on C: after I have reinstalled Windows.)
The Links are included in my backup plan. They can be used with any browser (at least all those that I use). I can add supplementary files in the Rechts directory (e.g. a username/pw reminder - note that I said 'reminder', not the pw itself!)

I use Slant[^] for recommendations, and also the list with URL's under my profile to find something, it does not have any advanced searching options though.
Here are some bookmark managers[^]

Chrome has a tab at the end of the Bookmarks bar titled "Reading list".
|
|
|
|

If it's an interesting website I save it to my bookmarks.
If it is an article that I want to "save" I use CutePDF to print it to a PDF file and store it in a folder.
